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.

Unfortunately, from my testing back when I used Arch, a lot of packages in the AUR didn't meet packaging guidelines, so while quickly writing a PKGBUILD is easy, writing it correctly requires a bit more effort, especially regarding the dependencies. IIRC
namcapis often enough, but ideally packages should be built in clean chroots as well to make sure they build everywhere
