And of course I’m installing Linux on it. Install went well, even the fingerprint sensor built in to the laptop works.
Mostly this will be a school and DND machine but always nice to have a functional laptop for whatever else I may need it for.

Nice, that’s a great solution!
Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying about installing that thing from the AUR then, in your example. I get it now.
But to think that the deprecation was caused by… upgrading! 😆
We’re very deep into this thread now and I’m sort of losing the plot, and it’s very late here. But these anecdotes I find are quite rare. Surely this would be happening in a non-rolling release as well. If Arch deprecated a package, and Debian were to do so for the same reason (seems likely, perhaps?), the only difference is the time frame in which you have to/choose to deal with it. If it disappeared from the Debian repo, you’d have to find some way of replacing it yourself, too.
I might be misunderstanding you again, I feel. But I hope you see what I mean, in case I’m understanding the situation correctly.
