@b_quest If you have time for Kernel testing do it and repote bugs / issues to Manjaro. 
But itâs better to use Kernel which are nearly on upstream 5.4, 5.10 and later
Only 4.9 and 4.19 on system here, so boot up was borked but could log in to console as root - no network connectivity.
While using another functioning linux on a different partition on same disk,I had to download the 510 kernel package from a mirror, Then, copied the file to home dir on the manjaro partion while still in the other linux.
Then logged in as root from the borked manjaro boot up.
pamac install ./linux510-5.10.42-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
It worked.
(I had to do it this way because there was no network connectivity and minimal functionality when logged in as root from a console window.)
One of the nice things about manjaro is the ease of switching between kernels. Iâd recommend checking out The Linux Kernel Archives - Releases
and then personally I make sure I have the Latest LTS and one LTS back in case there are issues and then I like to run the current stable kernel.
So in my Case I run on 5.12 and then have both 5.10 and 5.4 in case I need to fall back to another kernel. Iâd always recommend having a 1 backup working kernel to fall back onto (can just make it easier so you donât have to create a boot media if you run into trouble with a new update to a kernel). So in your case keep your 4.14 kernel and maybe give 5.10 a try. If you have issues just select the 4.14 kernel, remove the 5.10 and try the 5.4 and then remove the kernel that doesnât work and move down a kernel. Really as long as everything works for you then you should be fine but that link above will give you an idea of how long you can be on a kernel. So for instance in the case of the 4.14 kernel itâs projected EOL is January 2024. So when that time rolls around you want to make sure you are on a supported kernel before it gets removed.
If you havenât changed kernels in manjaro before the easiest way is to use the gui. Just open up the Manjaro Settings Manager application, select the kernel under system options. Then from that list you can manage the kernels that are installed on your system. Just by clicking install or remove for whatever kernels youâd like to install or remove.

Iâm using Cinnamon, which means libcanberra-pulse is a required dependency for the DE and all associated packages. Can anyone confirm whether sudo pamac upgrade, which is telling me it will remove libcanberra-gstreamer and libcanberra-pulse, will affect any of the packages which depend on libcanberra-pulse?

No, those packages are no longer in the repos. The libcanberra packages were consolidated, youâre not losing anything.

You arenât forced to use pamac. They just noted that if you used it, it solved the dependency issue on its own. I myself use pacman ( just used to it and it works on any Arch system ) and just do that on my own. You are free to choose which way you prefer. Both are valid options. I would only ever have an issue if they removed pacman, but I canât foresee that happening

Probably the same reason Iâve always used vi / vim vs say nano. Vimâs installed on every system out of the box so no matter what, if I know how to use vim then I can use the editor on any Linux system I come across. Iâve always used pacman and have no issue doing so, and itâll work on any Arch-based system

The notes indicate both Arm and x86_64. But as long as you updated, youâre fine
HelloâI ran into the libcanberra issue that blocked the update. Solved from the solutions section of the post. I was previously unaware of the pamac and pacman differenceâgood to learn. Cheers and thank you.

I also run in the issue with systemd 248 and kernel 4.19. A downgrade to 4.14 helped.
No issues at VMWare guest VM, thanks for yet another smooth update.
God, I hate Nvidia.
Have not had anything but problems with their shitty drivers now they broke my external monitors. Nouveau specifically does not work with display port for my card.
Bought a System76, so called âLinux laptopâ, it was very expensive especially with the import taxes and all but I assumed they would have taken care to make sure it had working drivers.
Big mistake.
They actually put in an Optimus card, the very card that brought the above salute for Nvidia from Linus himself.
Never ever buying anything from Nvidia again, or System76.

there is nothing to do
However there are no errors reported when trying to check for the mirrors. It seems the update packages can still be downloaded.

Hi all, I updated my desktop with no issues but after the update my Laptop canât get past the login screen.
The Laptop is a Thinkpad X260.
Manjaro XFCE with 4.19 kernel
I updated with pamac update as per the recommendation for this update.
I see some errors during bootâŚ
And then the login screen appears but the keyboard and touch pad are unresponsive.
Plugging in a external mouse and keyboard is unresponsive also.
Any advice much appreciated.
Seems you didnât read the âKnown issuesâ post
Yeah I may have missed that. A little complaisant from a smooth update on my desktop.
PipeWire audio is not working for me; IIRC last time PipeWire updated I had the same issue but that was fixed my restoring .pacnew configs from March (according to pacman logs). This time there is no such .pacnew configs.
Help?
There are distros out there which ship nano instead of vim. Which is mind-boggling.
