pacman-mirrors was temporarily renamed to manjaro-mirrors (changed has been reverted)
This was done to avoid confusion with an AUR / WSL package with the same name and avoid possible breakage. It should be a seamless transition.

XFCE becomes unusable if libxfce4ui-nocsd is still installed
So far XFCE Classic project hasn’t updated yet to 4.18 series. We pushed 4.17.0 version of the package, but don’t know if that helps in that situation. It is recommended to install the regular libxfce4ui package to avoid issues and comment on this issue: libxfce4ui 4.18.0 released · Issue #15 · Xfce-Classic/libxfce4ui-nocsd · GitHub

python-cairo 1.23.0-2 update requires manual intervention
The python-cairo package prior to version 1.23.0-2 was missing the compiled python module. This has been fixed in 1.23.0-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked pyc file that was created. If you receive this error
python-cairo: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem
when updating, use
pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cairo/__pycache__/\*
to perform the upgrade.

We recommend to install openssl-1.1
Due to the update to openssl 3.0 some things still look for the older LTS version 1.1. You may install openssl-1.1 and maybe lib32-openssl-1.1 packages. However report such issues to us.
Known issues:
- some SDDM themes might not work
- dkms might not sign modules properly as header files may still depend on 1.1 version of openssl
Issues reported to Archlinux so far:
FS#76567 : [plasma-framework] 5.99.0 needs a rebuild against openssl 3.0

For some yet unknown reason Calamares is rendered black on Gnome when Mesa 22.2.x is used. Current workaround is to install 22.1.x series and relogin to the live-session.

NVIDIA 520.56.06 - 525.60.11 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 and set dither mode to temporal (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.
