Why not use the AppImage or Flatpak version of Yuzu if you want stable libraries.

I don't even remember yuzu having non AppImage releases, if you used AUR you could have just rebuilt the package instead of complaining about manually trying to find the right libraries.

A "normal user" wouldn't be using Arch Linux , building their own packages. They would just use the AppImage or the Flatpak.

I'm aware of the AppImage and Flatpak, but those vanished before I could maybe switch to them. The AUR scripts I have are broken and many of the repos they depend on vanished too. And then any attempt by anyone to revive it is met by Nintendo's iron fists, or people don't upload unofficial fixed versions because of fear.

So it sits on my machine as "legacy software" and the point of my post was to show that linux isn't very friendly with legacy software, it wants the software you have to be on a "treadmill", always updated, sourced from a repo somewhere, where someone can take care of these problems for you, where as on Windows thats less rough and usually old software just keeps on working.
