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.

Tuba is in the AUR
aur is limited to arch based distros only
And rpms are for redhat tree, so ?
OP said
Your example package is readily available in my distro in native was my point. If your distro doesn't have it then maybe you need to change distros.
Do you check packages you install from the aur? I ask, because it seems like people don't. I did, and it was a pain in the ass, and that's why I stopped using arch and arch based distros.
