Is there any way to avoid a Gnome session of auto-suspend if your laptop is doing some background activity (e.g. downloading)?
I'm not u/poita66, but if you're going by the number of "stars" on GitHub, caffeine/caffeine-ng appears to be more popular/well-known than [jenspfahl/KeepAwake] (72 stars vs. 18 stars respectively). I have a bias towards Caffeine-ng I've used it before (I haven't used or heard of KeepAwake until this thread). However, there's nothing stopping you from trying both extensions and then keeping the one that you prefer.

Caffeine-ng won't show run
I have a feeling that it isn't appearing due to a missing dependency. Did you install the minimal/architect version, or the full blown standard Gnome version of Manjaro? One thing you could try doing is build the applet from source: https://github.com/caffeine-ng/caffeine-ng

update/build aur -git packages
I haven't used aura in a while, but as far as I understand the command sudo aura -Au --devel will only update packages that need updates based on if there are new commits upstream. As of aura 3.0.0 the git clones are kept in /var/cache/aura/vcs and when aura checks if the package needs an update it just does a pull on the repo and checks if the version is newer, so you will only see packages listed that require an update. You can add the --force flag to rebuild all of them, but that will generally do a lot of unnecessary work rebuilding packages with no updates upstream.

My transition from Windows to Linux in an anti-customer age
Yes, you need to use the CLI to run that, but it's trivial to do so and a real package management system brings many advantages over exe installers. The AUR, inspired by BSD's Ports, is one of the major advantages of Arch. It's very rare to find a package that isn't supported.

Yay not working?
Same here. Checked the github page and they're aware of it. Should be fixed soon. In the mean time I've been using aura. It's pretty great, should be more popular imo.
