Would it be technically possible for an arch server to build and serve aur packages to other machines/distros?
Debian has the MPR https://mpr.makedeb.org/

Debian User Repository MPR AUR for Debian
https://mpr.makedeb.org/ this is the link.

Doesn’t using a different package manager defeat the purpose of Debian?
I know the MPR is a thing, but I've always found it unwieldy to use.

LURE development progress update (December 2021)
So the main difference from something like MPR is that it does that same thing, but for more packages, not only .deb files?

Newer packages on PopOS?
Regarding system repositores, it's generally best to avoid tampering with system repositories like this because it'll cause problems with release upgrades down the line. But if you really want to, look into https://mpr.makedeb.org/ with the expectation that a release upgrade with these packages installed will most likely fail.

PSA: For all you ex-Arch users out there, check out `makedeb` and `lure` for all of your out-of-band software needs
makedeb - Like makepkg, but produces installable *.deb files. There are already lots of packages in the MPR

Introducing Mist: An AUR-helper like application for Debian and Ubuntu based systems
Mist is powered by the MPR, an AUR-like repository that's also for Debian and Ubuntu based systems (of which I'm also the project lead for, as well as the makedeb project listed below). In short, it uses pretty much the same PKGBUILD format that you'd see on Arch Linux, but uses them to build .deb packages instead of Arch Linux packages.

Arch to Debian: best practice for managing repos unavailable through apt
deb-get For last resort. But DistroBox and Flatpak will give you all the software you want.

Is there something similar to the AUR for Pop!_OS?
There's no dark magic involved. That software basically has its own repository built in: https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/blob/main/01-main/README.md

All the problems I had with Pop OS as a user coming from Windows
The first thing I would do here is make sure that your keyboard is set to the correct locale and layout. You can check this under Settings -> Keyboard The next thing to note is that the key code send by laptop keyboards are often proprietary and don't work out of the box. You can use xev / xorg-xev to see what key code is returning and update your key bindings. What is the recommended way to install applications? Ignore the Pop OS shop? Is it an app to app decision? Thank you for the recommendation. Use apt or the pop shop for most things but for proprietary things I'd use deb-get or just download directly. Flatpaks and Snaps are great but doesn't always have the best system level integrations. This is a serious problem with Linux on the desktop in general and I'm looking forward to an os agnostic package format becoming dominate.

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.

Want to move to linux
I got my start to Linux with PopOS, and so I will vouch for that. They look good, have good tools, and cares a lot about the desktop experience. Also, they have a built-in recovery partition, so even if you f'd yourself, you can reset from the Settings menu or from the boot menu. It is Ubuntu-based, and be sure to check out deb-get and pacstall for some third-party apps.

apt-get and deb-get is totally different. apt-get is deb default, deb-get is different. Here, read up on it. https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
Nice. If you're looking for apps on PopOS and other Ubuntu derivatives, you can also use deb-get and pacstall to get certain 3rd party and proprietary apps not in the package manager.
