I get surprised every time I see this meme as I've been running arch for about 6 years and I have never experienced anything system-breaking after an update. I once had no graphics because Nvidia had stopped supporting the GTX650, and updating the driver made it stop working. But I have seriously never had any problems updating.
...Mind you, I do use CSM and GPT-BIOS (GRUB) because I am stubborn like that.
And even not as a meme, it just isn't productive as a post in general. Seriously the amount of times I've seen a different "better neofetch" both here and when I used reddit is absolutely bonkers
