So you neglected the operating systems maintained regularly, despite it being a rolling release? I assume you didn't read the manual intervention instructions that are posted regularly too. I don't understand people using a rolling release and then not caring about the maintenance. Off course it won't end very well.

    I'm using arch on my desktop for >5 years. Never read those instructions. Sometimes my update looks like OPs. Just hit Y. All fine.

    Then you were "lucky" (given you neglected this part for more than 5 years). Depending on what packages and configuration you have, you MUST do manual intervention to have a working and optimal system. While you were lucky, I wouldn't recommend anyone to ignore the posts on https://archlinux.org/news/ , there are only couple of short posts per year, so not really a time waste.
