I tried to use language a Windows user might understand, obviously not since nobody packages installers for Linux like Windows (because installers suck)
It is very dangerous downloading and installing random packages. It introduces instability since the package manager maintains the entire system and untested packages can create all sorts of issues.
Best to use native packages that have been tested upstream. If that isn’t possible you want to use some sort of sandbox that can be easily blown away and created. (A container)
I get where you are coming from but it is best to encourage good practices.

Ok I could only install native packages from the offical repo or I can install tons of packages from the AUR :3
(I use Arch btw)
You can use the AUR in a container. You could install podman or you could even setup a environment with bubblewrap.
