If the first answer to any problem on a Linux system is "oh just update all the packages again" that is evidence of a broken and fragile package management system.
My experience (at home) with Manjaro so far has been absolutely terrible compared to my experience (at work) with CentOS and Rocky Linux.
With Manjaro, working packages regularly break after updates or new installs. It's clearly not managing dependencies properly. And I've had other weird problems on Manjaro. File permissions going wrong. Repo authorization keys getting corrupted. Updates stomping on changes I've made to the system (after looking for and not finding user-space overrides to effect the same changes).
I tried Manjaro at home because of @gardiner_bryant, and because I do some gaming at home (and to try something new). But it has not been smooth experience. And I say that as someone who has been on Unix/Linux since 1986 (with many years in the middle on OSX /MacOS at home, until finally Apple destroyed too much of the Unix soul in their misguided effort to make their computers more like their phones).
Am I just having bad luck or is this really just sort of normal for Linux usage?
Finally, I guess what irks me the most is the blind "just update everytjing again" advice, where my old Unix instinct tells me that I should find the actual problem and fix that one thing (change a file's permission; add another version of a single library; etc.) Is that approach also dead now?
