Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala.
If you use Pacstall, you can run pacstall -I nala-deb

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.

Imade a simple shell script program to manage packages in Linux. Currently it supports apt, flatpak, snap. It can probably be useful for someone.
Like bauh which supports AppImage, Arch packages (including AUR), Debian packages, Flatpak, Snap and native Web applications

Problems installing many apps
If you really want a GUI package manager that doesn't break EndeavourOS, I've had a good experience with bauh when I started using EOS. But I also do everything with yay now, as others have suggested, it is more convenient once you know the commands.

BalenaEtcher appimage is not clickable?
Is it an AppImage? Did you make it executable? If you use a lot of AppImages then you may want to add DE integration via their utility. I do not use it, as it runs a backgroudn daemon, I prefer using bauh instead.

POP OS! brought me here
Although, if I had to I would personally suggest bauh if you want a graphical package manager. I haven't had any issues with using it, and neither have I seen people complaining about it. It also supports the following formats: AUR packages, AppImages, Flatpak, Snap and Web applications. It also integrates with Timeshift to provide a simple and safe backup process before applying changes to your system.
What are some alternatives?
