After a decade with arch as my primary OS, I can say the same. I know plenty of folks have claimed issues with upgrades, maybe I'm lucky with the variety of hardware I've used.

What command would that be? The only way I would know to fix a broken Arch box is to manually fix whatever went wrong, not reboot -> select the previous generation in the bootloader -> done.

Generally, if it's just a package rollback, it's `pacman -U <path-to-cached-package>`
