For Arch just do “pacman -Rs <package>” to remove the package and it’s dependencies all on one go.

Why should I not create a script that periodically runs `apt autoremove`? (assuming that's possible) When do I NOT want to run this?

[synen]

When you install packages how do you know the proper name? I feel using search is inconsistent and unintuitive, any tips? Thank you.

Is it safe to use "autoremove" command on Debian/ubuntu all the time? How it will identify which packages are not needed?
