I would agree. ZFS has the most useful features of any filesystem I have used, and is relatively easy to administer.
I have lots of data (a lifetime of Pictures) on backup RAID with ZFS. Have been running ZFS on root for years. zboot is phenomenal with zfs to boot into any snapshot, kernel command lines are easy to set up. No GRUB or systemd boot. I do heavily rely on and use ZFS.
One of the main reasons I switched to Manjaro was the painless ZFS support, I would hate to leave such a nice distribution. I would second, please, please keep ZFS support on Manjaro!

Running Xfce4 on AMD Ryzen with Nvidia GT710, I encountered a slight hickup with the proprietary Nvidia drivers.
Pamac showed a conflict with the modules for kernel 6.1, which I still had as fallback-kernel. I tried to switch to the OS drivers with
mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
but on reboot lightdm could not be started.
I had to remove the proprietary drivers
mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-470xx
then reboot again. Lightdm started fine and I could finish the upgrade.
Unfortunately, I found out that Zoom (flatpak) seems to not like the open source drivers because it crashed several times during a meeting, so I tried switching back to the proprietary
mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
and reboot and since then Zoom has not crashed anymore.
I pushed another set of zfs packages. Please test and give feedback:

Thanks for your advice. Damn this release and those who did it! I’ve been in hell for days now! Nothing works. The computer freezes, the picture freezes at the most unexpected moments. To get to the desktop manages to 15-17 times. All this time like a fool sitting and restarting the computer. Coolers are constantly cranked to 100, LA system 2.4-2.9.
@philm What the ■■■■ is going on?
@zo0M and @xaGe: to figure out what happend you may need to provide more info about your installation. Like which Desktop Environment and Kernel are used. Also the content of /var/log/pacman.log with the info of your last updates might help to understand which packages got actually installed/upgraded. [HowTo] Find system information

I downloaded an image of the latest version of Manjaro GNOME, reinstalled the operating system and NOTHING has changed - if I’m lucky and the monitor doesn’t freeze when the OS boots, I get to the login screen 5-7 times, and that’s usually where everything freezes - I see only the background and the cursor looks like X symbol. No user selection for login is displayed, nothing else is displayed at all! All the coolers of my laptop start spinning at full power, and I can’t even switch to the 2nd console! The computer goes into a coma and is frantically spinning the fans trying to take off, apparently.
Did you bother to check this downloaded image for consistency?
Please provide necessary logs and other requested information. May I suggest, a new thread might also be appropriate.

Hey man, thank you, philm. I haven’t had the time to look into this fully until this morning and have fixed it after looking over the pacman.log as you suggested. I found this from that Monday upgrade.
[2023-11-06T14:56:58-0500] [ALPM] error: problem occurred while upgrading plasma-workspace
[2023-11-06T14:56:58-0500] [ALPM] upgraded plasma-workspace (5.27.8-2 -> 5.27.9.1-1)
Despite declaring an error, says it updated the package. Not sure why it failed, but that could definitely be the issue looking suspicious I just reinstalled that package, rebooted, logged right in and everything was working as it should.
As a 10+ year Manjaro user, I appreciate your continued efforts!

Imagine, I did.
As you might realize if you read carefully, my system is literally comatose. how do I get the logs out of it in this state?
I had to install an older version of the system (once again). at least it works!
Live usb session?

Maybe, but it doesn’t make sense anymore. As I said, I needed to work, not ■■■■ around with a broken operating system, so I just rolled back to the previous version.
I just completed…

I’m a Manjaro ZFS on Root user using Refind and ZFSBootMenu. Highly suggest ZFS users to run away from GRUB based ZFS usage. ZBM provides a working boot environment to create snapshots, clone/promote snapshots, and should you need it a chroot environment. If you don’t need that, it just loads up Manjaro. Be sure to enable pacman hook to take ZFS snapshot.

Just finished two installs and can confirm that linux61-zfs and linux66-zfs are working.
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm linux61-headers linux61-zfs
sudo pacman -S --noconfirm linux66-headers linux66-zfs
created pool and datasets so thanks for uploading linuxxxx-zfs packages.

Would just like to add, in my own experience, ZFS is working well on linux 6.6.0, much appreciated.
Just to confirm, ZFS is still classed as deprecated despite the laudable efforts by @philm within this thread?

Show Apps icon (gnome) in dock no longer functions for me.
edit: … I found the solution here: Dash to Dock "Show Apps" icon not working when clicked
Manjaro green is now blue in gnome-shell.
Was able to open gnome-tweaks from term & change appearance > shell back to custom-accent-colours. Luckily I had a terminal icon in the dock!
thx. this was the solution für me! very easy…
Looks good here. Update went smooth, after each reboot in my two kernels, everything can be loaded. I’m on Manjaro cinnamon. My DE of choice. So glad oberon does such a good job here. 
After this update, with the new Plasma 5.27.9, I get this weird monitor brightness dimming issue. I have my PC running Manjaro connected to my monitor and a Windows laptop also connected though one of the inputs on that monitor. I can switch which input gets displayed using the monitor’s built-in KVM.
Screen dimming was set to happen after 5 minutes of inactivity in KDE. This morning, I switch to my Windows laptop and noticed that the monitor would dim after 5 minutes (while displaying the Wondows UI on my monitor). I realized it was related to the Plasma brightness dimming because as soon as I moved my desktop PC’s mouse (which restores the default brightness), then on Windows the brightness was also restored.
Workaround: I disabled brightness dimming in the Plasma energy saving settings.
kde gwenview fails to load since it is linked to (removed) libKF5Kipi.so.32.0.0. The .so was previously provided by kipi-plugins which is an AUR package. kipi-plugins will get uninstalled during the update since is has pkg dependency kio which is now gets changed to kio5. You cannot reinstall kipi-plugins after the update since even if you change the pkg dependency to kio5 you end up dependency hell. kipi-plugins was made defunct some time ago which is why it is in aur. Not clear why the executable is linked to the .so and whether it is a Manjaro, Arch or KDE issue, or possibly something I messed up on.
