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.

reading "Build Files Exist" seems to suggest the package already exists, but it's not, I think.

So what is "CleanBuild" and what do the options mean: [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]t Installed

And is meant by (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4) ?

Debian doesn't even have an AUR equivalent does it

You know, that's kind of the point. Either way any repository is technically an user repository that can be added to apt.

Hmm. It's nowhere near as popular though, the search page only gives 72 pages of 10 results for an empty search.

Yes, you most likely don't need it. You can just add whatever apt repository for your favorite tools or use flatpak.
