Off the top of my head, I think sudo journalctl -xeb -1 should give you some useful error output for the previous boot (after rebooting from a failure).
There’s a --list-boots option if you’ve rebooted a couple times since but aren’t entirely sure.
Obviously you should relearn everything. Heck, pick up the Dvorak or Colemak keyboard layout while you’re at it!

That toshy thing looks like the right way to go. Wild that this is such a complex issue.
I had to go the other direction (Linux -> apple) for a bit and ended up remapping the caps lock key to command so I could approximate “normal” reflexive (pinky-based) shortcuts. It did sort of simplify copy-pasting in terminals.
Dang, this was the first I heard about mobile justice shutting down.
It had been on my phone and thankfully unused for a long time.
Looks like this is the written version of the video:

Well that’s not good…
They seem to be reasonably active, so I would imagine that situation won’t last long.
Garuda is about the same.
Arch base, preconfigured for btrfs snapshots on Pacman updates (and they provide a handy garuda-update wrapper to that), many niceties already done for you.
I’ve used the snapshot feature a couple times and only because the Nvidia drivers botched something horribly and I went back to the same snapshot a couple times.
And I use distrobox (rootless podman FTW) for some crap too. Like that time I needed WebEx at a moment’s notice for a call (and they only provide a deb and rpm). Or spur of the moment dev environments when I don’t wanna futz around with vscode devcontainers.
But with arch-based stuff, you gotta read the Pacman output. If you don’t wanna, definitely reconsider immutable. Next time I can be bothered to reinstall, that’s where I’m headed. Heck, you can start a distrobox with Arch and install all the AUR shit you please without a major worry.
I take it a step further with distrobox to provide the tooling (like the preferred version of poetry and other cli tools). That ensures people can jump in with the right versions of tools easily, and changes to tooling can be disseminated with a commit (and container build).
But I agree. Get started and solve these problems when they are problems.
I wish them luck and hope they can find better ways to work with the existing maintainers.
I’d like to suggest that you take a different approach, though it looks like there is a workable suggestion already.
Consider using apt_preferences to pin your versions instead of scripting.

Here’s a clip from one of my distrobox builds:
Package: python3.10
Pin: version 3.10.*
Pin-Priority: 999
Interesting. I’m on version 1.1.2 from F-droid, last updated 10 months ago.
Ah, looks like it’s a pre-nerdified cascadia! Not my personal style, but I know a few that love cascadia.
U001 is new to me, so here’s a link for others to look it up.
As a huge expanse fan, I’m glad someone brought this to life! (Shout-out for the space the nation podcast if you like nerds breaking down the episodes and need a good back catalog for the dark winter days)
Dropping a link for others since it’s the first time I heard of it.
Not sure if this the display manager is the issue, but SDDM is the other “big player”.
So what I see there is that badly designed fonts require ligatures to correct interactions.
Like, I get that there are some neat ones, e.g. I have them turned on when writing code for symbols, but they seem wholly unnecessary and distracting in alphabetical characters.
But I’m also the kind of weirdo that thinks the world needs more monospace fonts.
/shrug
To me, that’s even worse. Ligatures that have 0 separation where it’s expected short circuit my reading comprehension.
The “fi” combination also seems problematic since they seem to intersect.
It’s Nvidia that that jumps out in your question.
They are
/werenotorious for lackluster support on Linux and sleep/wake issues are/weresignificant.IIRC you still need to configure a few bits to get it to work properly (maybe just a systems service enable?).
… And it looks like it’s still a constant issue.
