What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?
(flathub.org)
It's pretty good for desktop apps, but it doesn't provide CLI applications, so I still have to rely on the AUR. There are some issues with it, but overall I think it's the best solution we currently have. And it's very easy to use, which is great for new users and it will become important if Linux continues growing like this.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
