I hate to sound like the classic Arch user, but if you're unable to build packages from source I'd highly suggest a different distro. Being a rolling release things will break. I've been a daily Linux driver for over a decade and do live Arch, but it's not for noobs unless you're willing to dive into the deep end (in which case it's great, but because breaking becomes a feature instead of a bug lol)

If you have not already done do, I highly suggest installing timeshift[0] and the associated pacman hook[1]. Make sure to appropriately configure them and setup good timers. This will save you a lot of headaches, especially if you have an Nvidia GPU (Jensen please...)
