I’ve been using a lot of Debian based distributions recently after half a year on Arch. The main thing I miss a lot is the AUR. The convenience of having all my packaged in one format is a huge reason why I use Arch. Is there anything like it for the AUR?

I also think that things like Flatpaks and Snaps could be useful, as I don’t really want to have tons of repositories for tons of programs I install.

    Not the answer you are looking for, but you can always compile things yourself.

    “Gus are you bleeping INSA–”

    It’s very easy to compile something after you get the hang of it. The experience varies from typing three commands (./configure, make and sudo make install) to just one. (sudo make install). And you can find out the package dependencies by reading the README file… or by just taking a look at the project directory. Or even at the Makefile file (which is a some sort of “installer” that you can edit and change to whatever you want.)
