Oh no. I am sorry that happened to you. My experience have been pleasant from the community. But I understand that might not be everyone's experience. Might I suggest setting up timeshift or other things like BTRFS which have rolling back features? I never have to use it in my 5+ years old arch install, but I have used it once while using Manjaro (Arch derivative). If your system breaks, I just use Linux Mint live boot and revert it back to last working state from Linux Mint which bundles timeshift. And you just wait for a fix before you update again. I suggest this because my experience has been that point releases creates problems in the long term and hence is not without issue. So this might be helpful. PS: I have heard nice things about PopOS. Hope things are fun over there. :)
