Yes, that is possible.
OMG, not again!!!
Can I freeze Plasma on 5.24 someway?

I think it was renamed from steam-manjaro to steam.
KDE doesnāt have ābugsā. They have ātransitional featuresā that are perpetually being āworked onā, but never actually properly implemented. 
( If youāre reading this: Hi, Nate! 
)
āKDE! Weāll fix it one dayā¦ some yearā¦ maybeā¦ oh whatever. Hereās a new feature that no one asked for! ENJOY!ā ā¢

At first I was scared when pamac told me āto install: libmalcontentā 
but then I found out it is some kind of parental control stuff used in gnome.

Who comes up with names like that?

Unfortunately with the latest stable update my PC is no longer waking from sleep properly. The screens stay black and I need to perform a manual reset. May need to roll the OS back to continue using it.
Iāve updated everything except the plasma packages. All seems to work fine. For now I will stay with version 5.24

The update had several errors for me, including breaking the bridged network configuration I was using to run my machine on br0 for better VM support. I donāt know what the update did to networking, but āip aā normally shows me 3 interfaces (lo, enp7s0 and br0). But after the update I had 8 interfaces. Why? The update took a very long time compared to all the other updates Iāve ran in the past two years, coming in at 41 minutes. The failed electron16 update took most of the time, see below. Also:
Install DKMS modules
==> ERROR: Missing 5.18.19-3-MANJARO kernel headers for module v4l2loopback/0.12.5.
Iāve been getting this error for at least a few updates, Iām not sure why and I havenāt needed to fix it yet.

This error repeated itself, retrying over and over and doubling the time between attempts (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s ā¦) until it finally gave up after wasting 17 minutes (1023 seconds). I removed electron16 as I no longer needed it, so that problem is solved.
wine-ge-custom also fails to update. Iāll have to retry it again when I have more time to get the errors for you.
My corsair mouse configuration was also somehow affected. I use ckb-next as a driver and I had to reset the DPI from 1400 to a DPI of 3000 to have the same mouse acceleration speed.

Looking at the comments in this thread, and what users are saying in other forums, and reading the KDE bugtracker, I might even consider this myselfā¦
I donāt want to have to resort to it, but itās not looking good.
For now, Iām going to simply skip this particular update and see if things improve in the next batch of Stable Updates.
* Iāve been bitten by too many show-stopper bugs because of KDE (one step forwards, two steps backwards), so you can understand why Iām tentative about upgrading.
* Some bugs may seem āharmlessā or āonly annoyingā on the surface, but could in fact lead to data loss, corruption, needless CPU / hardware stress, system freezes, or lost time. Itās a matter of usage and circumstances, in which the bug is the ātriggerā that knocks off the first domino.

After experiencing about one hundred tiny bugs with the newest KDE I decided to revert to the previous version of Manjaro via timeshift-btrfs.
I am going to reemphasize the general consensus of everybody in this thread whoās using Manjaro KDE:
You should have never pushed from an LTS version of KDE to the newest, extremely buggy one.
This is supposed to be a stable update for the stable branch of Manjaro. Why did anyone think going from stable KDE to this p-o-s was a good idea?
I know that bad things can happen with any update. But the amount of bugs the newest KDE introduces is just ridiculous. Sorry for the little rant and a little bit of rudeness. I actually love you guys and the work you do. This is why Iām asking you to:
please revert to old KDE.

Thunderbird doesnāt remember the screen position anymore always opens in the middle.
I prefer it on the left half of the screen. Same bug as firefox.
That is what I did too. Thankful KDE is modular.

Hi!!
Please, could you show me where is this option located? My desktop is in Spanish so I canāt find it, probably due to translation.
Thank you so much!!
Anyone else with problem with Steam?
I donāt updated yet, scared with so many issues reported here.
I think I will wait one week to update hereā¦

Hi,
with the new update Iāve experienced quite a lot of annoying stuff which forced me to time shift back. Most of my keybindings in KDE stopped working. My windows could not be closed since I had disabled the title bar and used only keybindings to close them. I couldnāt change the window appearance/decorations for some reason (after clicking apply nothing would happen). The meta key stopped working as well although in the keybinding settings everything was unchanged. At this point, frustrated, Iāve time-shifted back.
How you did it?
Anyone with Manjaro KDE wanting to update BUT without the buggy new KDE Plasma:
sudo vim /etc/pacman.conf
[options]
IgnoreGroup = plasma

Some minor issues here:
Using Evolution Mail on KDE with Seahorse to store mail passwords. Seahorse forgot all the passwords.
The keyring was previously named ādefault keyringā, name appears to have changed to ākdewalletā.
Fix: had to re-enter my passwords and save them in keyring.
Side effect: it seems that entering a password to unlock the mail keyring after reboot is no longer necessary.
On KDE, mouse speed changed to slow and suddenly there was a hot corner active that was not turned on before the update.
Fix: changed settings.
Edit: āLeaveā option in context-menu was also disabled.
Fix: Re-enabled option in āconfigure desktop and wallpaperā ā āMouse Actionsā ā click cogwheel next to Right-Button" and check option to add āLeaveā back to context menu.
