suil 0.10.16-1 breaks LV2 plugin GUIs in Ardour
Arch removed gtk2 compatibility in suil which is required by Ardour. Best solution is to downgrade to suil-0.10.12-2.
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/s/suil/suil-0.10.12-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

:: installing electron (20.0.0-1) breaks dependency 'electron19' required by element-desktop
The upstream package was already flagged out of date (it needs to be rebuilt against latest electron).
Workaround for now:
sudo pacman -Syy electron electron19 --asdeps
sudo pacman -Su

Glibc 2.36 update will break EasyAntiCheat within Proton (should be fixed with glibc 2.36-2)
The following should no longer be needed:
Temporary workaround for now is to use the flatpak version of steam:
sudo pacman -S flatpak --needed --noconfirm
sudo flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam -y
You can use flatseal (another flatpak app) to grant it access to your existing game library so you don’t have to re-download your games (add the game library install path under “Other files” under “Filesystem”).
sudo flatpak install com.github.tchx84.Flatseal -y
For advanced users (not recommended by us): patched glibc and lib32-glibc are available here. They remove the commit that broke EAC.

KDE Wayland: Kickoff "KDE menu", notifications and tooltips show in the upper left corner
- This is due to an upstream packaging bug, which has since been reverted.
- In the meantime, you can (temporarily) disable the associated Wayland feature (thanks @ufo_driver):
sudo echo 'export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_FIXED_POSITIONS=1' > /etc/profile.d/qt5-wayland-regression.sh
- It should now be fixed with qt5-wayland 5.15.5+kde+r38-3.
Missing dependency 'gcc8-libs=8.5.0-1' required by gcc8
- This happens even while gcc8-libs is already installed (8.5.0-1).
- Fixed by manually uninstalling gcc8 and gcc8-libs.
