I dont know if "downgrade" works well with Artix or if it just counts with Archlinux.

The general idea is to install older version of the given package:
- get it from local pacman cache
- get it from Artix or Arch archive (depends from which repository the package is):
-- https://archive.artixlinux.org/
-- https://archive.archlinux.org/

You can follow the ArchWiki article:

Damn, I still play that game (natively). A man of taste.
