Update your system frequently,
that minimizes the chance of things breaking in my experience.
I only ever update between projects - no way am I going to break something in the middle of everything.
This time, jump to new gnome means broken extensions as usual, and a hilarious one: qbittorrent doesn't show it's window in Wayland (gnome-with-X works). The soft is running, it there in the list of apps, there's even a big X "Close Window" button on Zoom Out but no actual window.
Eh. Lol?
I learned to do that the hard way...
But not too frequently. Updating too often on Arch will increase your chances of something breaking. Updating once a week or twice a week gives the developers some time to fix bugs and make changes to other packages as needed
Your comment is my reasoning why I use Manjaro :P
All the Arch niceness,
with fewer bugs / breakage
and easier to use.
Sure you might get an issue from outdated dependencies from AUR packages from time to time, but the chance / impact of those is usually rather small.
