    This isn’t normal, but still can be true. Updating arch can sometimes just not work, and delaying updates will make the room for errors after updating way worse

      I dunno, I’ve been blown away with how stable Arch is over the last 5 years I’ve been using it. I’ve not updated for 6 month + periods, i was worried but I just needed to update the keys first. Also I don’t even have a boot usb, apart from install (and learning some hard lessons about UFEI stubs) I’ve not had to recover a single time.

      It’s a stark contrast to 2011 when I decided I just didn’t have time to do my PhD and maintain my arch install and went back to Windows.

        I agree. I don’t even remember when I installed my current system. Sure there have been a few hiccups, but I’ve always been able to recover without getting frustrated and reinstalling.
