I rarely have to troubleshoot. The only issues I’ve run into lately is the package manager (pacman) refusing to download an updated package. Refreshing the mirrors or a quick internet search is usually enough to fix that.
From my experience, the only times troubleshooting is needed is if you tinker with things or use programs outside of the package manager.
Debian user here. I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update. How do u folks deal with that?

It isn’t an issue. I just left Arch because the AUR seems to be imploding. And without it Arch looses one of its big advantages.
I update weekly ish and very rarely have issues. And if I do it’s the usual suspects hyprland, pw, proton and video drivers.
You can either lock these and make them not update as frequently or use more stable software instead.
I personally like the troubleshooting because it means I’m learning something so that helps.
