The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn’t have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch. You can check by looking for [chaotic- aur] in your /etc/pacman.conf file. grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.conf If enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.
