The Arch Linux paradox. To update or not to update. (lemmynsfw.com)

Does updating more often make things break more often? Or does updating less often make things more likely to break when you do finally update? Or do things randomly break regardless and there's not a damn thing you can do to prevent it either way?

If anyone else is having problems with the latest updates making their ax200 wifi speed capped at 3.4mb/s and has found a fix that doesn't involve buying new hardware or reinstalling the os, I would love to hear it.

I would like to think installing new updates will eventually fix the problem but I've never seen updates fix anything Iike that ever, not even once.

Where do I report this stuff? I don't even know what package is causing this and I don't know where to begin in trying to find that out. All I know is my exact issue doesn't show up on an internet search. I can come up with some lame speculations like maybe it's firmware related but that's not very helpful.

I guess I've accumulated enough minor issues I could never fix over the years it's time to bite the bullet and reinstall. Such a waste of time though I hate reinstalling.
