I just updated #CachyOS (with Arch updates), and now no apps load. #Gnome loads, but Terminal, Gedit etc don't load.
That has been my experience with Arch & Arch-based distros: every few weeks, you gotta deal with unforeseen problems.
That's why I prefer Linux #Mint. It just works. I don't spend time dealing with things I should NOT be dealing with. If I want a rolling release, there's Debian-Testing which is very stable.
