having the same issue. system spontaniously freezes (nno reaction to anything), only hardware reset helps.
firefox is crashes while browsing on youtube.
did you find a solution?
When I boot it goes into a black screen after grub, but after a couple of minutes it goes to the desktop. Then the desktop freezes and the solution is to press ctrl+alt+F2 and then ctrl+alt+F1 to return to the desktop and from now on everything seems to run fine. I have an nvidia gtx970 and I installed the nvidia drivers with
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
Also, the compositor seems to crash kwin
OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.
This was most likely due to a driver bug.
If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver,
you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash!
Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead.
I had problems in the past in the newer kernel when fullscreen video from firefox would saw black and turning on and off the compositor by shift+alt+F12 would do the trick. Then I found that an option on desktop effects could solve it, the fullscreen option. So, something was not working right with nvidia drivers and the newer kernels.
My system,
cpu: intel i7-3770K, gpu: nvidia GTX970
Can confirm is happen to me as well,it has been reported,i think the new patch is coming January 9th.

Remove pipewire-pulse.
pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse, and pipewire-jack are normally not needed unless one wants to use PipeWire as a PulseAudio/JACK replacement.

hi @philm I found a small bug in one of the recommended commands:
right after --install has to be either pci or usb, in this case it should be pci. the command was giving an error but in the usage it stated (pci|usb) so I figured it out.
Thanks for you help, was able to fix my system.
the solutions are two:
1- use kernel 5.4 with free drivers
2- Thanks to the explanation that I quote below (using the option to do it by terminal, because using the AUR option in pamac it throws an error and does not finish installing it) I could install the proprietary driver 340 in kernel 5.4 and 5.10 and for now no longer I suffer from slowdowns or frozen.

I used Pamac to remove the nvidia drivers. Left mhwd alone. Installed 5.10. Rebooted, went into TTY to sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300.
Worked.
Update went smooth, but after reboot the graphics are messed up (i3 community edition). After switching resolution to lower and then back to high resolution using xrandr/arandr it works again. My system’s graphics are:
Graphics: Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 620 vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0
Device-2: Chicony HP HD Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo bus ID: 1-6:3
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 driver: intel unloaded: modesetting resolution: 1366x768~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.3.1 direct render: Yes
But next reboot messes up again. Any idea, how this could be fixed without switching resolution?
any reason why with this update the grub conflicts with grub-customizer ??
See here:
Well, it went pretty well, given my config it’s pretty normal (5.4 LTS kernel , Xfce, Intel processor and Intel graphic chipset). I still had to hack a little to get Ninja-IDE to work (AUR (en) - Accounts & Python 3.9 break ninja-ide · Issue #2112 · ninja-ide/ninja-ide · GitHub) and reinstall all my Python user modules. Only pyarrow (essential for the covidify module) is a problem for me (pyarrow wheel for python 3.9 · Issue #9081 · apache/arrow · GitHub). I have to wait for a wheel to be available for Python 3.9.
Hi, I saw the notification from the homepage, I seem to be affected. can I ask If I’ll have an issue after updating, I’m kinda Noob, still just learning. What must I do before updating?

It worked (i had no doubt); i installed the rebuild-checker, and performed the system update with the italian mirrors, that are, for some for me unknwon reasons, a lot faster than the -f 3 argument (2-3 mbits against 200-300 kbits); thanks a lot Wollie.
This particular update gave me issues with audio popping/clicking noise when any program started or stopped using my sound card (Intel 7 Series/C216 Family High Definition Audio)… quite annoying with headphones. The “solution” I found was to disable power saving for the snd_hda_intel module, but I’m not too happy about having to do that. It was working fine for almost 2 years, and I haven’t modified my audio settings in those 2 years, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
package grub-customizer is not compatible with this update:
:: grub and grub-customizer are in conflict. Remove grub-customizer? [y/N]
Hi. I gave a second chance to manjaro. After clean installing OS I’m still struggling with the same problem. On first boot after installing whole OS i see in mhwd GUI that there is a 455 version of drivers are available to install. I am such a user that before using system I let the system update itself. That’s what I did, and unfortunately for me in mhwd GUI I lost all NVIDIA driver versions except 390 available to install. I have a GTX 650 Ti Super GPU and according to the NVIDIA website, for the latest released driver (455) my card is supported.
How to fix that to install latest NVIDIA driver 455 via mhwd?
