    If it’s C or C++, I get the source from the project’s GitHub / GitLab / Source Hosting thing and compile it for myself.
    For programming languages that I don’t read, I usually use the AUR.

    Also,

    • GoG for games
    • Xilinx website, for that one time, I got the ISE
    • AppImage sometimes

      God that’s painfully me.

      Except I moved to lxc and zfs with homebrew scripts for most now, pass containers around the network like candy, including an arch lutris one.
