100% in agreement with you. I liked the idea of Manjaro but the way they deployed Nvidia driver updates made it feel like absolute luck of the draw whether you'd have a login screen waiting for you after rebooting post-update. I've had more Nvidia driver issues on Manjaro in a year than I've had in the past decade+ on Ubuntu or any other distro.

Switched to Fedora a week ago which I like a lot so far, but I still very much miss the AUR.

Flatpak + user maintained copr's have been mostly able to fill that void for me. The only package I've had to compile so far (that would have been available in the AUR) is wrk, a HTTP benchmarking tool. There is a copr available for it, but it doesn't seem to have builds for Fedora 34/35.

Why not use Homebrew? wrk seems to exist.

And it can work across any Linux distribution.
