Everything fine, thank you for all this work.
Is it just me or is the system much faster with kernel 5.10 ?
The AMDGPU and Intel open source drivers are blacklisted by Blender. I can not do GPU rendering with either on Linux, but if I boot into Windows, both my AMD discreet card and my Intel iGPU show up to assist rendering in Blender.
Then there is CUDA, which a lot of frameworks use. I have not used it personally, but people do not seem like the OpenCL implementations.
After the update from today bluetooth isn’t working on my laptop. It is not possible to enable bluetooth. Before the update bluetooth was working fine.
I had the same issue, switching to Linux 5.10 solved it.
I tried kernel 5.9 and then I switched to 5.10 but the issue is still there
systemctl status bluetooth.service gives me:

Dez 30 23:32:24 vaio bluetoothd[2703]: src/main.c:parse_controller_config() Key file does not have key “LEAutoconnecttimeout” in group “Controller”The update went fine; no problems.
Edit:
Except baloo broke.
Doing this fixed it, but running balooctl enable didn’t work so I had start it via kinfocenter … strange.
Edit2: When rebooting, it breaks again.
But when I installed linux510, I would just get a black screen at boot.
I booted linux59 again and noticed that no nvidia drivers where installed.
mhwd didn’t work because of a conflict between nvidia-utils and nvidia-455xx-utils
This is what fixed it for me:
Note: If you have a hacky multi monitor setup make a copy of /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
- Remove all
linux5x-nvidia-455xx(these will be reinstalled later, but they create a dependency issue) - Install
nvidia-utilsand removenvidia-455xx-utils - Run
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
(4.) Restore your nvidia.conf
After this I was able to boot with linux510 and the latest drivers.

Hi, does it work from terminal?
Nope! All it did is legit marked the system as “up to date”, but has not updated anything at all…
And the logs says that now many system components are missing…
Hopefully i’ll reboot, it will fail to boot, then I will enter a chroot environment to merge a previous snapshot and to update remotely with an ISO having a previous version of pamac…
Not a big deal, just a small annoyance…
I have a 3-boot laptop with each Manjaro in Unstable, and another laptop in Stable. I mix maybe between them, I saw a lot of Pamac upgrades lately. Dunno if it could be related.
Lots of Haskell and Python too.
I just successfully upgraded the system following the procedure I stated! 
Seems to be a sort of bug with the newer pamac version…

I had a kernel panic on shutdown after update, replace journalist, restart and removed mhwd-nvidia-340x.
After start all seems work well except one little issue;I have this error proc: Bad value for 'hidepid' on dmesg.
The kernel is 5.4.
Hi!
I had this issue, and the suggested workaround solved it.
rebuild-detector notified me of vmware-horizon-client needing a rebuild but after the upgrade it won’t build anymore due to missing sha256sum validation of vmware-bundle.eclass. EDIT: I had to clean the AUR cache to rebuild it properly.
Everything else went fine for me.
Many thanks and Happy 2021!
Have the same error running mhwd

For me it’s harmless and looking for a AMD video card anyway.
It’s not an error, it’s a log message you can safely ignore.
Probably, you are using new systemd on old kernel.
If you want to fix it, upgrade your kernel or downgrade your systemd.

I ran the update in the terminal. Everything went well until I attempted to run terminator. It refused to start. Even after I uninstalled it, ran a clean, and reinstalled it, it still would not start. Finally, I attempted to start it from another terminal. I got the following message. Thanks for a great distro.

The warring is related to the line in the /etc/default/grub added some time ago. It allows to use systemd-fsck for filesystems check:
# Uncomment to ensure that the root filesystem is mounted read-only so that
# systemd-fsck can run the check automatically
GRUB_ROOT_FS_RO=true

In case it has not been mentioned. I had to add this key -
gpg --recv-keys EB4F9E5A60D32232BB52150C12C87A28FEAC6B20
to get rebuild-detector to install. Check out the comments from the aur page.
