Partial updates are not supported on Arch. You need to use
-Syu.I think you’re misunderstanding what a partial upgrade is.
A partial upgrade is where you update the database without then upgrading every package (calling
pacman -Sywith theuswitch).pacman -S, therefore, is not a partial upgrade, as the database is not updated with theyswitch.See System maintenance#Partial upgrades are unsupported for more info.

It’s definitely better than say a year ago, but it’s always a new small issue. Like suspend is not working, or shutting the monitor off crashes the graphics stack etc.
I really hope they get their shit together and build a solid wayland support at some (not too distant) time. But the amount of issues is small enough for me that I’ve switched to it.
