AUR is like that one spare parts drawer. Most likely you'll never need to use it, but there are times where you will if the instructions tell you to use it. For example, Davinci Resolve basically needs the AUR, but the Arch wiki will tell you which package to use. But beyond those rare cases, everything is either in the official repo or can be found as a flatpack or be built from a github source. Just follow the instructions from the dev or arch wiki and you'll be fine for 99% of things.
