There are many things that can stop me from running a program but what distro I’m using is not one of them.
Become distro-agnostic. Don’t be afraid of source code.
Seriously, look at what the pkgbuild is doing on Arch and replicate it by hand on your distro of choice. That’s all a pkgbuild is: a simple bash installation script.
What software only works on Arch? If anything I see stuff that’s packaged for arch but can be installed from source on other distros without issue.
Ubuntu-only software, on the other hand, is infuriating
Can’t you just use it though distrobox and podman?
Not as easy or as convenient as
yay -Sy appnameit actually is, you just append the distrobox command before it
distrobox enter arch -- yay -Sy appnameA simple
yay -Syfrom Arch btw takes less computing power and doesn’t depend on an external dependency.Any reason not to just use
yay? That’s an alias foryay -Syu, which in and of itself, at least if I understood it correctly, is basically justpacman -Syuand from what I’ve read on the arch wiki-Syis heavily discouraged.But then you stuck with arch. I’ve never had any software that wasn’t a flatpak or in the Debian repos. I use Fedora.
I would say you are stuck on Fedora too, what is your point?

There are quite a number of them, hence the reason for OP’s meme.
Really? I honestly have never had that problem. Can you name a few? (I’m completely serious. Don’t take this as sarcasm)
There are so many software devs that package AURs because Arch has made it easy for them to do so. No need to give examples if you are totally fine with your brand of distro.
But whether you’ll hit the minor snag OP memes about depends on your software needs.
