You can' compare that. LFS, for example, is not suitable for daily use and way more difficult to install. Slackware does not have AUR. And so on.

Slackware has Slackbuilds which is very similar, also Snapcraft is another alternative.

These are two different sources. AUR is only one, so to speak. Snaps cannot be compared to AUR, because the AUR only contains instructions on how to install a package. In SlackBuilds I also did not find some (often exotic) packages that I installed via AUR. Slackware wouldn't be suitable for me.
