Using pikaur, how would I disable asking me "Do you want to edit PKGBUILD for <package_name> package? [Y/n]"
Have a look here. Did you not search for the answer? That's part of the Arch(based) ethos. We tend to like to learn by reading whatever is required. :)

Nala v0.10.0 - Nala's A Legible Apt
I was also looking for something nicer for Arch, but haven't found anything as nice as Nala. For now, I switched to pikaur, which at least displays updates in a much clearer way.

AUR helper
pikaur is a pretty great tool.
-
I created a tool to install AUR packages in 1 click from the website: Aurin
Nice, but this definately needs a dependency resolver, otherwise it can only install a fraction of the available AUR packages. Since you're already using python, you may adapt your whole code on top a another python-based AUR helper like pikaur. You maybe also could take at the dep resolver of my ABS project. It's python, too, maybe not as clean as pikaur's code but simpler and not too integrated.
- Yay or Paru!!??

My computer just freezes when installing librewolf. I used both yay and cloned it from got, neither one worked.
Get Librewolf from chaotic-aur https://aur.chaotic.cx/ and avoid building it entirely.

AUR
Some unofficial repos may be helpful, like Chaotic-AUR.
- how it feels when aur download is taking longer so you leave it on in the background and forget to put password at the end and all progress is canceled

I am officially one of you.
follow steps (only 4 steps) here: https://aur.chaotic.cx/

How do you guys manage AUR compilation?
Just use chaotic-aur and whatever aur helper you already use. Then you’d only have to compile the more obscure packages.
-
Needed packages, best windows manager (ur opinion), and some help
The Chaotic-AUR is the GOAT. Follow the website's instructions to use it. It's like the AUR; but precompiled, so installing from it is much faster.
-
Some games not launching due to invalid file descriptor
so i got it working, but instead of vanilla wine i use wine-tkg-staging-fsync-git, you can get by adding chaotic-aur well known pre-build binaries repo, use at your own risk but it's a very popular and well known repo.
- What can I expect more from EndavourOS other than easy-install Arch?
-
Just switched from Debian to Arch, Some advices ?
Add the chaotic aur it'll save you a ton of time
