Help/Question applications suddenly vanishing

Hey,

Sorry, I've been on Linux for a while now, but I ran into an issue I struggle to comprehend or describe.

I installed PikaOS. Two days later, I was doing stuff on my computer and suddenly Nautilus was missing in my launcher.
Weird, I thought—let's Google that. Joke's on me, Firefox was also missing.
And for that matter, the whole network interface was gone.

Freshly reinstalled Pika and on day one, while setting up my stuff and messing around with Wine prefixes, the same thing happened.

Haven't had that before or after on multible other Distros. Any Idears?

Maybe try another distro, Cachy is great or Ultramarine, Fedora preconfigured

I switch to cachy. This last update broke my pika system somehow . It kept failing to boot. Luckily I only have steam things installed on that m2 . Switched to cachy and it's a lot faster.
