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
