You Linux people are funny.
I just download the Windows versions and run them with Wine.
./configure && make && sudo make install
Get off my lawn.
I copy pasted this in my terminal and got an error. Apparently my Linux doesn’t know &&
…or nixpkgs they have the most packages of any distro (although, I don’t know if they also count all the language specific libs like from pypi, npm, crates, etc.)

Proceeds to unpack AUR and reverse engineer what it does so you can get what you need
True story for some stupid ethernet driver patch: alx-wol-dkms
Can’t you just use it though distrobox and podman?
But then you are installing it locally. The benefit to containers is they can be deleted. Containers allow you to have separate systems that are not apart of your main system. This keeps everything clean so you don’t have to worry.
Also Arch is a unstable mess and requires updates way to frequently
I’ve been using Arch for over a decade now. On a laptop, desktop, VPS and now it’s also driving Steam OS on the Deck. I had very little problems with it compared to our Ubuntu setups at work that randomly break on updates. Ubuntu is not as bad as it used to be but from my experience (i.e. the way I use it), Arch has been more stable and reliable.

This does not make any sense in this context. Or anywhere else if you want to get real pedantic.

Arch can be unstable at times but that’s part of the deal as is with any distro you’ll install and use over time. Requiring updates frequently is also not a valid argument against Arch as you can choose when to update.
it actually is, you just append the distrobox command before it
distrobox enter arch -- yay -Sy appname
A simple yay -Sy from Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn’t depend on an external dependency.
