If you happen to have any background with coding, I recommend OpenSCAD. There are a (relatively) limited set of instructions, easy to pick up if you do any other coding.

The reviews on this are worth reading. You might get some interesting recommendations after reading them, though.
Probably stock up on some tech hobby stuff that I can't get in brick-and-mortar stores (SBCs, maybe a PinePhone or something).
Yeah, that's my plan. I usually end up with a couple of flatpaks (or AppImages) for the things that I need up to date, but otherwise just go with most things from the repository.
I was thinking of switching away from Arch and back to something Debian-based. I've never been a big fan of flatpaks (I have a background of not having fast internet or much storage space, it's just stuck with me) and I never used the AUR anyways.
I mainly tried Manjaro to try the bleeding-edge life, and while I do enjoy having more up-to-date packages, I do miss being able to install DEB packages. I think I might try Debian testing and see how that goes.
Good to know! I was considering switching back to Debian or Mint, maybe LMDE. I'll look further into it. Thanks for the tip!
You can snag a Pixel 6a on Swappa for about $100. I looked into compiling the OS once, and it wasn't worth it for me (on an i9 w/ 16GB RAM and a SSD, still would take days).
