Hello and welcome,
i3 is a community project and got no new iso based on latest stable snap in quite some time, so yes, it was normal to have a huge system update.
Is important to know what errors you encountered. Usually each announcement has a mini wiki. Some updates come with demoting some packages to AUR … That is also something to check.
Here is an example from way back regarding python
You may need to rebuild any Python packages you’ve installed from the AUR. To get a list of them, you can run:
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9
And to rebuild them all at once with an AUR helper such as yay
, you can do:
yay -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --answerclean All
But if any of the packages don’t work with Python 3.10 yet, this might fail halfway through and you’ll have to do rebuild the remaining ones one or a few at a time.
Those do not get mention anymore as the new updates come around … but reading the announcements is always a good thing
For timeshift there are a couple of things you can check

I thought it would be nice to have a central thread for user created Pacman hooks. I am starting to get a bit of selection of them now, and I thought it’s time the pacman hooks got shown a little bit of love on the forum.

1. INTRODUCTION
Microsoft Windows started its life as a graphical user interface on top of MS-DOS, a 16-bit single-user, single-tasking operating system that in turn originated as 86DOS, an unauthorized 16-bit rewrite (by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer) of Digital Research’s originally 8-bit CP/M operating system. Both CP/M and MS-DOS were at the time developed for computers that did not support any other storage media than floppy disks.
Considering this legacy, Microsof…
