When I tried Arch in '23, it worked well. Then I got busy and lazy and didn’t use it for 2-3 months. When I came back and did yay -sYu as I had learned, dozens of KDE and core packages were throwing errors and wouldn’t update. Unfortunate.
I see, I guess it was assumed that the user gets, that they have to install it again afterwards (the correct version) if they still need the software 🤔
yay -Syu, and around that time KDE had switched from plasma 5 to plasma 6, which involved moving a lot of packages into the extra repository, so you had to sit there and confirm each package move (unless you used --noconfirm).
Running

❤️whish more people would understand that a good set up Arch does not need maintenance, just updates prior you turn your pc off.
You could even automate that, like OpenSource TW is by default.
