I haven't yet tried debtap. For ungoogled chromium, you can get a pre-built binary from chaotic aur repo aur.chaotic.cx/
Linux-rt is available in disastrous aur. These are third party repos so Arch devs take no responsibility. Chaotic AUR is popular, and comes with Garuda Linux too. But they can be a hassle. Ubuntu is better when it comes to binary packages support.

To search packages in unofficial repo, you can use this site : pkgs.org/

About distro hopping - I used to do that a lot until 2019. I had separate home partition so I did not lose any data or app configs. Now I have a single partition installation for simplicity's sake.
