No, definitely not the minority. Quite the opposite: it’s what almost everyone does. But if you’re updating the system from within the GUI, then a whole busload of shared libraries will be in use that are going to be overwritten, and this could cause serious problems.
Secondly, pamac is a work in progress, and it has serious issues — especially the GUI versions, although even the command-line version has its problems.
pacman on the other hand is the mature command-line-only package manager for Arch-based distributions, and you can use yay — which is equally mature — for installing AUR packages. But of course, yay does not handle Snaps or FlatPaks, so you may need to resort to (the command-line version of) pamac for those.
I’m using KDE Plasma, running on X11 and have tearing after the update. There is also a Plasma-Render warning. I have tried both, software renderer and OpenGL, but for both there is tearing when scrolling in firefox or watching videos.
Furthermore I cannot adjust under system settings/compositor the sync option. It has disappeared?
Oh crap, Keepass is broken on KDE, and it doesn’t launch!
You get the following error:
mono_crash.6903e1cb.0.json
I reinstalled, and the program, and it launches, but you can’t open it. You get the password key error. How ever, you can launch keepass through Konsole only.
Here’s the original error message:
Assertion at aot-runtime.c:2638, condition `is_ok (error)' not met, function:decode_cached_class_info, Image out of date

zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped) keepass

I am new here so I don’t know where to say this, but I’ll just post here about an issue I resolved myself about this update.
I think my kernel did not update with this update, which caused grub to say that some linuz file was not found. I was running 6.1, and I have 4.19 installed in the background. I had too boot into a live USB and use manjaro-chroot -a to reinstall the 4.19 kernel, which allowed me to boot into the main OS using the 4.19 kernel. Next, I reinstalled the 6.1 kernel and booted into that.
This was annoying and concerning, but it seems everything is fine now. If wanted I can post more details.
The update appears to have gone well for me (I am running KDE) with one exception.
It overwrote my customized Grub config file.
It was not a big issue for me as I keep a backup copy of my Grub config file just in case.
I would recommend to anyone who has customized their Grub menu to make a backup copy of their config file prior to applying the update.
After update, right-click on cairo-dock items and select “Edit” does nothing. No way to edit the settings for a given dock item. Reposition of the dock seems to fix it.
While this will fix most of the issues, steam will refuse to work, as there is no lib32-llvm15-libs available.
I’ve downgraded both llvm libs to previous version (15.0.7-3). Maybe it is not supported but at least it works. I hope nonfree repo will get updated soon.
