I had similar experience with Arch around 2018 but it's been amazing after that since ~2019. I've never had any problems again and sometimes I would go away from my desktop for several months, come back and update everything in a single `pacman -Syu` with no problems (sometimes not updating in time _was_ the issue before). I've heard a lot about Arch/Manjaro being not stable and breaking things frequently enough, and it was true but isn't anymore (at least for me) which makes me quite sad because the problems from few years before turned away many excited users who are not willing to try again for obvious reasons.
