It's normal to wonder about potential problems. Updating after six months might help avoid issues, but it depends on the software and your setup. Always check the latest guidelines!
The keyring could become outdated, though other issues are rare. If this happens, you can update it, but remember to refresh each time before installing packages since dependencies evolve.
I understand this update was addressed, but if your gaming setup uses an Nvidia GPU with Xorg, it performs best because Wayland has caused issues with Nvidia drivers. I believe there might be a problem with screen recording on Wayland as well. Personally, I prefer Xorg for its reliability and it handles the job well. I also use Arch Linux.
They are leveraging Intel integrated Graphics which should work. For screen recording on Wayland, you must use Pipewire and your recording tools must support Wayland and Pipewire, like OBS Studio.
Xorg dates back to the 1980s and hasn't seen significant updates since then, making it quite outdated. Wayland offers modern performance and the latest tech improvements compared to Xorg. However, backward compatibility is very limited due to years of developers writing GUIs specifically for Xorg. Many application libraries must be adapted, and sometimes applications themselves need modification.
