    You don't even have to use the aur are to have breaking changes. Most recently they changed how vlc was packaged. And broke it causing a lot of problems for users.

    That's pretty rare. I ran arch for years and my only issues were from AUR or trying to update extremely out of date machines.

    I've run arch for years as well. It happens nearly yearly. I've had updates break completely several times. Partial updates. That required significant manual intervention. Etc Etc Etc. Meanwhile my Debian and fedora systems haven't had a hitch in years.

    I've moved on to gentoo. All the customization and if something breaks I can be sure it's my fault.

    I haven't installed gentoo in 20 years. I still like arch for it's glaring flaws. And I do like BSDs ports etc. I probably should go through a gentoo install again to see how it changed. Last time I ran it. Was on a first generation Pentium.

    Oh wow? You still suffering. In case you haven't found the solution. Uninstall VLC. Then reinstall all the VLC bits. Now instead of then all bring in one or two packages. There's tens of then now. MKV support had is own package even.
