> every few months, an update bricks my install

I'm really curious about why this is. I have a desktop I update daily, a laptop I update very irregularly (once even went without an update for over a year), and a toy server that I update once a year or so (I know, terrible security practice). All running arch. And I think I've had two situations where something broke significantly after an update, and even those didn't require a live boot USB.

What desktop environment/window manager/compositor do you use? I'd guess one of those is the culprit if anything

I'm on nvidia, x11, kde plasma, ... its probably some firmware package for something instead.
