fr though why is the AUR specific to Arch when its pretty much an automated build/binary blob installer? I dont know much but it really seems like the AUR could easily be made available on other distros and renamed to LUR.
I think it might be because of dependencies that might not be the same version on other distros
Now that I think of it, if i follow it to the logical conclusions of using a container to build and manage dependencies for each individual package across multiple distros all I've come up with is a self-building flatpak and/or VanillaOS 👀
