You’re running proprietary garbage off Play store at the moment that hasn’t seen an update in over a decade.
How is switching to a modern open source alternative going to be less “safe”?

You said you used the first result in Play Store, can you be more “mainstream” than that?

I believe there’s no confusion about what the word “mainstream” means.

Actually arch has never been that much of trouble for me

That which is common, or the norm. That which is used by/appeals to the masses.

When Martin said “how can you be more mainstream than that”, I believe he fully understood what mainstream means, and was implying that you did a very mainstream thing by just using the first search result given to you.

to me, mainstream means 2 :
1. to still not yet “unplugged” people, WHO , CNN , MICROSOFT, FB, TWITTERS are mainstream.
2. to “awoken ” people, linux, alternative news grp…. are mainstream

I find Arch easier to use than manjaro. Arch has a proper Installation guide, a good Wiki and no weird/stupid defaults or a broken updater script. I think you’d be totally fine with arch too if you take the time to read the wiki and the official install guide

I might have overexpressed. But as soon as I started the firewalld service, browser started giving errors. Lost acces through SSH, mDNS started popping errors on the log.

Edit: I have setup DNS on NM as localhost and ::1, and using dnscrypt as DNS resolver. I installed firewalld on one of my arch VMs and it did work. So certainly I have misconfigured my system.

What errors? Stopped running as in the service exited?

If your intention is to learn how your system works and how to put it together yourself, Arch can be a very good beginner experience. The official install guide and the ArchWiki in general are excellent learning resources

I use scrot for taking screenshots, so I just set the custom shortcut in System Settings to run this command when Meta + PrtSc is pressed:
scrot ‘%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S.png’ -e ‘xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i $f; rm $f’

after pressing Meta+prtSc , is it captures screen silently, or the loading animation displays on the screen ?

Silently. Afaik, you can send it to notify if needed. Customize the command given by @MasterDevX based on man scrot. Lot of customisation options there.

So you blocked access to your DNS reolvers?

Open egress to the DNS resolver and port, and make sure a reply is able to ingress (which should be allowed by default because of connection tracking, but given you’ve blocked everything you’ve probably misconfigured something).

I have basically followed this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dnscrypt-proxy. and added the localhost settings in nm-applet rather than resolv.conf itself.
