[SOLVED] How to see what updated

I remember updating my system yesterday and getting several updates. I never inspected what updated and didn't reboot.
Today, my HDMI no longer works, my system crashes when playing full screen video's (YouTube and Steam, not mpv) and picom stutters when fading from one workspace to another (i3wm).

So I want to blame an update for this, but as I don't know what updated yesterday, I don't know where to start.

Can I find out what updated yesterday? Is there a log? Something else?

Alternatively, you can use expac, example from the wiki.
