Never have I ever once had a problem after updating Arch Linux. I always had problems with Manjaro when I put it on my ex's computer because I thought it would be easier. Wrong. Stop using Manjaro. It's much lower quality than a serious distro.

The problem is you are exposing yourself to brain injury by trying to use Manjaro. Just Use Linux Mint.

Is it the best? No! Is it the most performant? NO! is it rock solid reliable out of the box? YES!

CachyOS and Fedora also looked tempting but bog standard linux mint is my powerhouse right now

That is a problem if you happen to have a nvidia GPU, and, as the article says, by nvidia forcing it, you will not be able to have that brand of customer gamer GPU anymore.

This pain point being a common thing is mostly specific to Manjaro. Much more stable experience on any of the major vanilla distros.

manjaro is arch under the hood and arch is supposed to be updated fairly frequently.
