Garuda (2.5.5-1):
System install date:     2022-02-04
Last full system update: 2022-03-01
Is partially upgraded:   No
Relevant software:       NetworkManager
Windows dual boot:       Probably (Run as root to verify)
Snapshots:               Snapper
Failed units:            snapper-cleanup.service

I hadn't used my Garuda installation for about 3 days, so I got a lot of packages to update yesterday. After update I continued to use the system for some time, and then out of the blue got a visual glitch (the whole screen looked kinda like the transparency effect used in the default theme with some black diagonal lines all over the place). I don't have a screen/photo cos I pressed the meta key and the whole screen turned black, only the cursor was visible and moving. I decided to hard reset, and when I rebooted it was stuck at the splash screen for a minute or two and then it entered the emergency mode.

I should mention I updated through Pamac. I just wanted to install an app but it prompted me to install a bunch of updates, so I thought "why not while I'm at it?". After some research I learnt I should use the Garuda updater. So I booted with an older pre-update snapshot (truly a life-saver) and the system seems to work. However I tried to update properly using the Garuda updater and I get the same issue.

Here's the output of journalctl -xb:

And here's the ouput of the Garuda updater:

This is quite a lot of packages and there's some errors so I've no idea what might be causing it.
There's a GRUB error but GRUB seems to be working just fine. Decryption prompt works, snapshots work, loading with the fallback works (I mean I can choose it but it doesn't boot).

Hi there, welcome.
First of all, after booting from a snapshot you should always restore it from the BTRFS assistant, and then reboot. This is not mentioned, so I assume it was not done. Don’t do anything (e.g. install, update, etc.) before that.

I’m not sure this will bring you back to a functioning system now, but it should be done.

Just a few additional hints:

This was a mistake because there was a kernel update (and a lot of other suff), so a reboot was needed.

This should be always avoided. There are things that could be done to save your… E.g.

Ah, I thought snapshots worked like in macOS where it restores from a snapshot automatically upon a successful boot.
I restored from the BTRFS assistant, rebooted, ran the Garuda updater, rebooted again, and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

Are there any packages (apart from the kernel and GPU drivers) I should avoid updating through Pamac or any package manager?

Glad it worked.
To be really honest, I suggest to avoid updating with pamac at all.
Pamac can be used to search for a package, maybe to install a single package, but I really really suggest using the Garuda Update (button in Garuda Assistant or just update from terminal) to update the system.
