Just curious, is there something similar to AUR on Fedora? It's a big selling point for me.

  The AUR and PKGBUILDs are pretty much just an Arch thing. But on a distro like Fedora, where the default repo is fairly complete and well-groomed (with the odd package hosted in a 3rd party repo), having something like the AUR is a moot point IMO.

  Fedora has "Cool Other Package Repositories" or COPR. They're a place for community members to build and publish arbitrary RPM packages. Some are well curated and high quality, others less so.

    Thanks for mentioning this! I heard of COPR a while back but never really explored it until this morning after I saw your mention. It definitely could be considered an alternative to AUR/PKGBUILD for Fedora (and it has >24,000 packages already hosted on https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/).

    Do I understand it correctly that it also builds the user provided packages? I guess that's similar to [0] but having something (semi?) official is pretty nice. [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositorie...

    vast majority of stuff in the aur has no arm version, how about COPR?
