I use Obtainium (available in F-Droid) alongside F-Droid since both have auto-updates
this is still tolerable to the old days of updating manually

biggest upside is I can update Tubular/Newpipe faster via Obtainium while F-Droids build system takes days

easier to use and more stable.

What they couldn't predict is that co2 production would rise so dramatically

interestingly enough in the early 1900 there were more electric cars than ICEs in north america

the difference is that the folder/package structure for other package manager is open and well known
everyone can host their own i.e. apt, pacman or Flatpak repository with little effort

the required folder/package structure for snaps is no longer open and you cannot change the default snap repository either easily

thats a big hit for non-commercial laser cutting enthusiasts
Between Visicut and Lightburn, the later was miles away even with its quirks and testing all sorts of stuff with boxes.py was a lot of fun

bummer

Once I realize a package is going to take ages to get ready, is it possible to safely intervene to stop the process? I try to avoid it because in general I understand arch-based distros don't like "partial" installs. But is it safe to stop compiling? No changes have yet been made, right?

AUR helper do that user friendly, just cancel the process with CTRL-C
the package gets installed only at the END of the compilation

compiling manually (no PKGBUILD or AUR helper) will be different, especially if don't build a package first
things like make install usually don't and can leave a mess

Including the xone kernel driver for proprietary Xbox dongles is quite nice
(you can connect Xbox gamepads via bluetooth but that will often times give you a higher input lag for Xbox pads anyway)
