I also see some KF5/Plasma5 stuff mentioned in there. Arch (and therefore Garuda) moved on to KF6/Plasma6 a while ago.
Example: The khotkeys no longer exist in Arch. So remove that and it’s unneeded dependencies and try updating again.
Pyside2 is an AUR package, so try removing it first, update the system, then install/build it again if you need it.
Anything in the AUR is not important for Arch to function. Only to other AUR packages.
It seems to use the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency, which is notoriously overcrowded with wifi, bluetooth and all manor of wireless connections. Any of these will lessen the stable connection length. So do you use other wireless devices in the area between your mouse and the PC?
Plasma/KDE decided it should be the default a long time ago and the X11 session has been in maintenance mode ever since.
As far as I understand it, it’s more of a push to wayland by default and not about harming x11 users. I for one would like to avoid having kwin-x11 pushed to my system.
So Alpaca still gives functional answers if you turn off your internet connection?
I think the initramfs has gotten a lot bigger over the last couple of years. More modules included, more functionality.
