Bollocks. This can happen for any distro or OS. Stick to distro packages and this isn't notably more true for Arch than for most other distros or OSs.

If you build and install packages from AUR, or use dodgy repos like Manjaro, then risk of update woes will increase significantly.

I don't have key problems on Debian or Fedora, but I do on Arch, even without AUR packages.

It's possible that you won't anymore if you preceed full upgrades with a `pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring`.

If I have to solve it by applying a manual fix it's still a problem, right?

Also at least up until 2 years ago (I have since stopped using arch) that did not solve it.

I've never had this happen with Windows or Mac.
