Update installed successfully yesterday. Proceeded to install and boot into kernel 5.8 today, no issues as of writing this.
The only question I have is re: “Boot hole”: I’m not using Secure Boot at all, do I have to mess with GRUB?
linux-latest is currently a metapackage for kernel 5.7. Shouldn’t it point to kernel 5.8? That’s the latest stable kernel.
version Kernel 5.8 has just started
there missing some drivers wifi and firmware
stay on 5.7

Ta… reverting to 5.7.
I’m having the same issue. My conky scripts were already in the correct version.
conky-lua-nv (10.1Kb) removed conky (4.9Mb). conky-lua-nv only has those 4 files that Loacoon mentioned above. If I remove conky-lua-nv and reinstall conky, then it throws run-time errors.
Probably… I seem to remember there some some criteria that needed to be met before kernels would be added as part of linux-latest probably that the kernel be sufficiently tested by the Manjaro crew and all the drivers be available. Since linux58 is currently sat at 5.8.0-2 on my list, it lookes like the 'kernel.org stable 5.8.1` isn’t in in the stable branch yet.

WARNING: If you try to install video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440xx-prime on an Optimus laptop, you got a black screen!!!
I had to revert to video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-430xx-bumblebee to get my display back…
That is something that could be made “sticky” the time that the 450 driver is available (I’ve heard it doen’t have this problem, but I haven’t try, because I rather stay on “stable”).
Otherwise, the rest of the update was trouble free on 2 computers (Gnome & Cinnamon), thanks to the Manjaro team.
Update went well. Running KDE

Hello, a newbie here 
How much data did it take for the entire update can you brief me on that?
It depends on what you have installed. You can do pacman -Syu and check yourself and cancel.
Okay.
I haven’t installed Manjaro yet.
Just trying to gather knowledge about everything I can so that I am totally sure before going for the OS change!
If your system is working, at point 4, you can simply use:
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo grub-install --recheck --no-rs-codes
and
sudo update-grub
Then reboot.
1 e 2 are advisable, too.
A chroot is needed if after reboot you get a grub error and your system doesn’t start anymore.
But if you want to follow the longer procedure, it’s up to you, it doesn’t hurt.
However, since I’m quite a newbie, I chose the shortest way (I updated one of the two my Manjaro systems). I’m of the view that the fewer commands you give, the harder it is to make mistakes. 
Good luck!

For a “big” stable update (e.g. Desktop environment has new major version, first larger update in a while, so many other app updates are included), I think you will easily see around 1 GB or more of download size.
However, those are usually not super frequent if you are on the stable channel.

Some more bugs specific to KDE Plasma:
-
The Battery and Brightness icon in Status and Notification randomly disappears and requires a reboot to get it to reappear.
-
After resuming from standby or hibernate, there is always a new sticky note with the last paragraph of typed text in it.
Updates made on KDE version. Everything OK.
Thanks Manjaro Team.
Thanks for this @gan, just what I was looking for 
After rebbot, grub-install -version now prints grub-install (GRUB) 2.04~manjaro which looks like it was successful.
Hi all!
Update went fine on my work computer (1GB, 257 packages). The only issue so far is Windows 10 VM not booting with USB support enabled. But, as this VM was caught between updates as well, maybe the problem will go away on the next reboot.
Thank you for the great work. Cheers and good luck with the new forum.
EDIT: VBox definitely doesn’t boot with either ehci or xhci usb enabled (only with ohci). I’ll take a look at the bug reports later.
xps9550,KDE,linux419 - no issues 
Hey @mbb,
You can fix/workaround this issue relatively easy.
Workaround: disable ehci / xhci usb controller in virtual machine settings (only ohci allowed). Not feasible everywhere.
Please find step-by-step guidelines using downgrade process:
- Remove virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.1.13.139853-1
- Download manually virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.1.12-1 from AUR
- Extract
