Reasons like this are why I jumped ship to arch a long time ago. The amount of issues you get are about the same but they get fixed a heck of a lot quicker. And now flatpaks are popular I can use those for most applications without worrying that a random lib update isn't going to brick it, as would happen somewhat often for aur stuff.
I've played around with Fedora Silverblue and the like but there's still a lot of friction with entirely immutable distros, having to layer packages is a slow and painful, and setting up a consistent development environment is hard; I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to install dev tools in a toolbox and get my IDE environment from a flatpak to integrate with it. There's probably something I'm misunderstanding about how I'm supposed to set this up but a quick search at the time didn't lead to anything.
Regardless I'm mostly comfortable with sticking to arch for a bleeding edge distro and drivers, knowing that if I do get an issue it'll be fixed relatively quick, and always keeping linux-lts kernel handy along with timeshift backups if anything does cause major issues.
