Yeah like I said to cscs I know how Manjaro and it’s repo’s work but all I was asking is is there any updates on the Nvidia or Gnome DE getting updates, that’s all 
And yeah I do love that about Manjaro also 
Gnome-Shell 41.1 is currently in Unstable, Testing and Staging branches.
New nvidia the same.
So you could check out the most recent Testing announcement, to see if there are any issues that are holding back the update to Stable.
Ahh I see that’s ok I can wait, so they are still in unstable? are both of them actually ready or still being tested/worked on currently?
I don’t use either, so I don’t know. You need to check the Testing announcement thread for details.
That’s really helpful, thanks!

How do I switch to the staging branch?
Don’t switch to the stable-staging branch, it’s getting most likely removed, there was most likely last update yesterday to the stable-staging branch
Use rather testing or unstable if you cannot wait for the updates to come to the stable
Oh thanks for letting me know as I wouldn’t of even known that was happening!
can you send a link about the news about that?

You can’t plainly see it by going there, it’s a comment on one of the posts so you would only know if you had a direct link like he sent just to let you know so I wouldn’t of known 
It’s in the announcement itself
First sentence in the thread
This most likely will be the last stable-staging update, before we disolve this branch …
It’s the #announcements, for what would there be announcement on Manjaro’s forums? About Manjaro, obviously. And once there, you can see it’s about [Stable update]s, [Testing updates]s, [Unstable update]s, or [Stable-staging update]s.
Just do a bit more reading than (badly) skimming the surface. There is a lot of other info there as well, that you’ll be thankful you didn’t miss.
Yeah, I had to learn that myself, so yes, I’m talking from experience.
Edit:
Also, there are fairly regularly update announcements in the forum, as the section would suggest. When those announcements are released, they are the top busiest forum topic.
There are also RSS feeds for the announcements, as well as the matray tray app for it. So I think it’s well covered. If you don’t expect to be spoon-fed, that is.

haha yeah there is a lot of info all there to easily find it for sure, a little cluttered but of course gives you all the info
Hi. My comment was focused on what you said about it being a minor update, which suggested that it wasn’t a significant delay in terms of the security & functioning of your system. Anyway, seems like you got lots of helpful responses. While some people need/want bleeding edge & probably use Arch for that reason, I appreciate the community of testers, who run the gauntlet for the rest of us. More power to them all. R :->

Yeah I’m happy with how Manjaro does it’s repos and you can have the best of both with a stable experience or try out unstable if you want to and come back. I’m also happy with waiting, I was just curious but at the same time curious to try it with the unstable repo

Go ahead & try out the “testing” repo - you will learn a lot & the feedback helps with QA. I might run it on an old laptop to see what happens but not on my primary machine. Enjoy the adventure!
