  • mprweb

    Hosting platform for the makedeb Package Repository (MPR)

    • There is something similar to AUR for Debian (https://mpr.makedeb.org). However, it currently has far fewer packages.

  • nixGL

    A wrapper tool for nix OpenGL application [maintainer=@guibou]

    • The downside to using Nix on other distros is that anything involving OpenGL is a headache, and the hack around it has some awkward edge cases.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • NUR

    Nix User Repository: User contributed nix packages [maintainer=@Mic92]

    • Nix also has the NUR. I have never needed to use it, while when I used arch I had many AUR packages.
