backhdlp
me and lots of people with this issue accidentally hit it all the time while typing.
Can't you just use the disable while typing setting?

I'm bad at describing so take the Arch wiki page.
You don't really have to worry about configuring much, it should be fine to install all the packages, maybe enable some services, and forget about it.
It's likely that you're not using Arch, so you'll have to check your distro's repos for the packages.
I doubt there's even Windows Software for this
udev provides the command udevadm and you don't need to use it because the android-udev package provides the rules that you need.
That's just how mkinitcpio looks, happens every time you install something related to the kernel, nothing to worry about. systemd is always installed on Manjaro and most other distros, you can see near the top that it's being reinstalled, not installed. It probably told you that before asking for confirmation. udev is part of systemd and thus was also already installed.
What you're probably missing is android-tools or android-udev, needed to connect your phone to your Linux box. You may also have to enable something like Allow App installation via USB or USB Debugging in your phone's developer settings.

Well, an easy to configure WM, like you asked. I can't do it justice with a description because I suck, just try it out.
You probably won't notice a difference in day-to-day use, especially since you use Plasma. I can't vouch for performance, but you don't have a Nvidia GPU so you should be fine. The easiest way to migrate for you on your desktop is to install plasma-wayland-session, and for your Laptop to install sway and put in your i3 config.
Try to learn from the source code of similar projects.
I'll get one of those when I have the money for a high-end laptop.
