I don’t know why, but I have this problem. I wanna install zoom, but I can’t. Actually, I can’t install any AUR packages from Pamac. And Microsoft Teams didn’t work more too.
In stable it works normally.

I like Unstable, because I like to update to the lastest versions like Arch Linux. But I think I gonna switch back to Stable.
Also … do not use sudo with pamac.
In general it should be understood to Not use sudo unless required. pamac will prompt you.
In any case … yes, unstable is not for those who do not wish to deal with bugs from time to time.
And, honestly, the AUR is not really for those who cannot inspect a PKGBUILD and use makepkg either.
Not to gatekeep - do what you like. We also have these tools to make things easier - just understand that they are conveniences and that I highly suggest informed responsibility as a starting point.
