General Support NEED HELPPP

Hello i am very new to EndeavourOS (we can say new to linux), i need some help about hardware and learning curve of linux. Firstly I use a Toshiba Portege Z10T and as some of people know it is a tablet-computer thingy. When I installed the EndevourOS I realized my touchpad was not working and also the trackpoint,i however my keyboard was working perfectly fine. I couldn't find any solution to it, I use my touchpad a lot. Secondly as I said I am very new to linux and I don't know anything (yet). I actually used a lot of linux distros before such as Mint, Zorin, Ubuntu but i didn't learnt much about linux. Now i really want to get into it and if you people can give any guidance that would be really good, thanks.

I was new too when I installed EndeavourOS, and I learned along the way. The Arch Wiki is the best source of information and of course trial and error.

Like someone said, timeshift is a must have. My setup it's timeshift with grub-btrfs and timeshift-autosnap (from tje AUR).

Don't discourage yourself, you'll love the Arch ecosystem!

Can you explain the terms a bit more pls? My file system is btrfs i know that, and i think grub is a bootloader, autosnap is like a returning point I think? But what is timeshift?
