What are some good LTS distros that are preferably not Debian based
Use nala instead: https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

Finally switched to normal debian after maining kali like a dumbass for months
Try switching to Nala for your apt front end. Way better experience.
-
Creating an Ubuntu post install script
I do like Nala front-end for "apt". I'm new to it, but it would likely be at the top of my script.
-
How to change the repo from local one
You can use nala and do a sudo nala fetch command to find the fastest repo servers.
-
Your default post-install packages
You’d need to be on testing or sid for nala. It’s also available from the website and you can install with dpkg.
-
Yep.. I'm dumping APT for Nala.
Nala is available on Stable, but you have to use our repositories as specified in our installation instructions https://gitlab.com/volian/nala/-/wikis/Installation.
- do you use Nala package manager??
-
Did not finish, yet!?
nala says hello.
-
apt post transaction actions
I know that Nala has support for this, but it's one of the lesser used features so there could be some bugs present. https://gitlab.com/volian/nala

Package manager GUI...
idk anything like this, but you can use Nala, to make apt looks better. :)

- How do you guys manage AUR compilation?
-
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!!??

Wholesome memes can be hard to not sound awkward
