When using arch I remember it often happened that an update would mess up something. Not all the time, but every few months it would happen that I’d have to spend a morning after the update figuring out what got messed up.
Bunch of things. Indeed Nvidia drivers happened frequently, but that is something you generally expect and got used to fixing and as such it’s no big deal.
I remember much pain with Xorg, but also had problems with alsa, network manager, keychain and several other core systems.
Also, try losing power during some pacman transaction and have fun figuring out what exactly is preventing your system from booting up.
Arch in the pit of despair? Not true anymore… I hope.
My friend that runs arch constantly complains about a bricked system.
I only complain about long compile times.
I mean, sure, you can brick the system if you do something stupid probably. I never did but I dont take risks.

Maybe Nvidia drivers. I had that years ago too before i switched to amd graphics.
What did you have that got messed up?
