Building a standalone Haskell binary with alpine-linux and stack.
https://openbuildservice.org/ is one way to produce distribution packages across a wide selection of distributions, if your source code is open.

Manjaro's new website that integrates with pamac to provide a web based interface to install software. Supports repositories' packages, flatpaks and snaps
As fair as I understand, OBS is indeed a suitable replacement for AUR right now.

The Future of Snapcraft | Ubuntu
OpenBuildService is better in every way, is fully opensource everywhere and can even generate packages for ubuntu better than launchpad appears to, and can even build entire distros. No special integrations are necessary, it can cost-effectively work with a highly paralellized number of virtual machines (iinm 100 or more on generic threadripper or epyc).
-
Why is it so difficult for a software application team to support so many distributions via packaging? Is there no machinery to robotically package any application for any of the given major distributions? Why not?
Suse's OBS is another option, and there are likely others...

Linux on the Desktop: Part Two
Good idea, give it a try. I'd recommend Kubuntu or Mint with Cinnamon. I switched to KDE for KDE Connects' amazing smartphone (Android) integration, which i recommend srrongly to try. Switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed myself, best KDE implemention IMHO, rolling release and the software selection is great, whats missing from the repos can be installed via opi, a client for [0]. It is not that newbie friendly though, since SUSEs' focus is on the enterprise ie safety over ease of use.

I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
Try it on openSUSE, the best KDE integration by far IMHO, since it is their standard DE since IDK/forever? Tumbleweed offers the newest packages, rolling like Arch, but with a huge test battery on OBS (https://openbuildservice.org/). Snapshots on upgrade make the thought of breakage (haven't had any) tolerable.

kde tilling features needs some attention
That's exactly what happens. Bismuth was a fork of Krohnkite. If someone needs Bismuth enough, they will pick it up, fork it or whatever.

KDE VS GNOME
No idea what exactly that shell does but in KDE krohnkite https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite was pretty popular until it was somehow superseeded by bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth (which forked krohnkite or was inspired by or whatever) and now with Plasma 5.27 there's initial work on a native tiling window manager including a whole new API for people to build upon, and which can be accessed with Meta+T.

Is there a way to install Kwin - Bismuth on my steam deck in a way that doesn't make my head hurt?
You can use Kronkite just fine. Bismuth is a fork of it, and their feature-sets are practically the same.

Are there options for dynamic window tiling in a traditional desktop environment?
Do you know how that differs from https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite it seems like that is another tiling extension.
