How about pacman install vim or pacman --install vim or pacman -i vim
What the heck does S mean?! What's all the syncing nonsense. A million obscure parameters that are all single letter, don't tie in with anything meaningful. You might be used to it, but it's a mess of parameters.
Try EndeavourOS. It's basically what you describe.
They're documented, but it's a big and ever expanding list.
If we didn't have a bazillion TLDs these days we'd be ok and everyone can carry on using .local or .lan and be happy that they're not real TLDs. Now when anything could be a TLD because every word you've ever heard is a TLD, you don't know if its real or not.
EndeavourOS is by far my favorite distro I've ever used. I can't fault it.
Try using yay with EndeavourOS. It's much easier than pacman for most standard stuff but if you have to you can use pacman too as yay is basically a wrapper around pacman.
To do a full update you literally just type yay.
To install something it's yay <searchterm> and then you're given a list of possibilities including your related sub packages and can make multiple selections at once.
What about people who want something up to date AND stable? I don't want to be stuck on an ancient Debian base when I want up to date goodness for running newer packages. This is what Manjaro promises, but I think we all know the problems with what they're trying to do. Fedora is probably the one distro that most closely fits imho, but I've never liked RPM distros too many bad memories from 25 years ago.
Kubuntu is most normie. Its just Ubuntu but with KDE instead of Gnome. KDE Neon has the latest KDE but the update process is a mess so I can't recommend it.
Personally I use EndeavourOS with KDE and find it very easy. Updates are literally just typing yay. But I understand that Arch based distros aren't for everyone.

Can you recommend a mail server docker image like that? I have a hand cranked iredmail server that I've been babying for 5 years but I want to move it to either docker or an LXC.
A default is ok as long as there are other options. On Garuda there aren't
Oh no!
Anyway...
Been on Proxmox for a couple of years and it's been great.
