NVIDIA 520.56.06 Color banding and animation issues
- [NVIDIA Bug Report] Color banding and animation issues with 520.56.06
- [Manjaro Forum] Nvidia Dithering mode no longer working after the nvidia 5.20 driver update
Current (not so good) Workaround:
- Open nvidia-settings
- Select the problematic monitor under the GPU Tab (e.g.
DP-0 - (LG ...)) - Under Controls, change Depth to 6 bpc (or play with the Dithering Controls)
NVIDIA already replied to the Bug-Report, so there is a good chance that this issue will be fixed with the next NVIDIA driver release.

Removing python2 from the repositories
2022-09-23 - Jelle van der Waa
Python 2 went end of life January 2020. Since then we have been actively cutting down the number of projects depending on
python2in our repositories, and we have finally been able to drop it from our distribution. If you still havepython2installed on your system consider removing it and any python2 package.If you still require the python2 package you can keep it around, but please be aware that there will be no security updates. If you need a patched package please consult the AUR, or use an unofficial user repository.*

* Note: Unofficial user repositories are not supported
Nvidia 3060RTX cards may have issues with the 515.76 driver
ceph, ceph-libs and ceph-mgr dropped to the AUR
These packages will most likely be orphaned and can be removed. See:
Fixed: timeshift-gtk dumping core for some setups
ongoing discussion:
Timeshift-gtk dumps core
Update to timeshift 22.06.5-3
Openh264 2.3.1-1 update might prevent some applications from launching
With the latest openh264 update so-file name changed. Some applications however still expect so.6. As a workaround the following symlink can be used for now.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libopenh264.so.2.3.1 /usr/lib/libopenh264.so.6

After replacing backintime-cli with backintime, you will need to install backintime-qt manually if you want the Qt frontend installed again.
electron12, electron13, electron14 & electron16 have been dropped to the AUR
Unsupported Electron packages have been dropped from the official repos to the AUR. They no longer receive security updates and nothing in the repos depend on them.
If you have AUR packages depending on those versions, install the binary version from the AUR to replace them; i.e., electron16-bin.
See FS#75490 - electron12, electron13, electron14, electron16 are unsupported and vulnerable packages
End of Support for 15.x.y and 16.x.y
Electron 15.x.y and 16.x.y has reached end-of-support. As per Electron’s new 8-week cadence, we were supporting the latest four versions of Electron until May 2022. With this Electron 19 release, we’ll return to supporting the latest three major versions, as well as the alpha, beta, and nightly releases.

Workaround for now:
sudo pacman -Syy electron electron19 --asdeps
sudo pacman -Su

Arch removed gtk2 compatibility in suil which is required by Ardour. Best solution is to downgrade to suil-0.10.12-2.
