Yet you're using distros with PPA support and most likely have one of 
them added to your repositories list. Am I right? How this is different 
with "regular + AUR"? And, actually, it is MUCH MORE WORSE!

The only thing I hate about those COPR, PPA and other type of third 
party repos in distros like Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE is that there is no 
guarantee that when some dependency updates these packages will be 
rebuilt in timely manner, so it is more likely you will have broken app. 
And moreover you cannot do it yourself with simple command - you have to 
download package sources, build package, install built package, and it's 
THREE different commands.

In Arch I can do that with simple "yay PKGNAME".

We can go futher - Gentoo's portage will rebuild packages automatically 
if dependency was updated. But due to nature of distro I am not using 
it, because I have work to do, not to mangle for hours with system update.
