I think, zfs-dkms was originally created by Archzfs group who can maintain ZFS. It is in AUR. That is not Manjaro’s job.
I already mentioned above:

I hear they are not using encryption either, so LUKS users should watch out next /s
Sarcasm aside, this is quite disappointing and yet another reason to jump ship after relatively smooth sailing for years on an end. This makes me sad.

I had some conflicts regarding kcoreaddons5 (5.111.0-1) breaking kimap2.
Searched for kimap2 in pamac GUI, led to sink which led to kube which I apparently had installed from AUR. After manually removing kube, kimap2 and something dav2-ish pamac GUI got it’s things together and solved any remaining conflicts. Lesson learned, steer clear of AUR.
@philm The suggested solution for the switch to zfs-dkms will fail if linux61-headers aren’t installed.
(At least it did in my case.)
About to reboot and see if my zfs pool comes back now I installed linux61-headers (the DKMS modules built automatically when I installed it)
EDIT: zfs pool back up now.
(I have a /data zfs pool on spinning rust with important and bulky files, eg 20 years of digital photos, but my root and home partitions are on nvme. Still able to log in but things look a little ugly.

To anyone else after the update,with Gnome, the accent color of the login screen turned blue? The rest of the theme is ok. I’ve tried to reselect “Custom-Accent-Colours” but it fix all except login screen.

In Testing, there was this issue with spinning disks not spinning down. Some patch was made there but only few people reported it was fixed. I am sure this was fixed but I can not find it there?
I know this is bad manner, but i want to ask again : Why was the nvidia driver 545 not included?
The Turing cards which are affected by black screen flicking ( basically every time they change their power state ) are like 30% of the gamers on the steam chart.
It was the highest upvoted comment on the 545 thread on reddit with many users expressing they would rather go back to windows, then deal with more of this ■■■■.
545 has been in unstable for a while … why was it not pushed with this update?

If you remove zfs then you should also remove zfs-utils
very minor remark;
KDE activated the Dim Screen after… option on my Desktop.

Drop ZFS because of no one from manjaro team using it? Nice. Which packages next?

Update went right in, minor problem, I’m using psensor to tune my cooling loops and after the update it now reverts to posting the desktop image in place of the graph and data that the app provides!
I have been forced to keep kernel 6.4.16-5 because Dell OptiPlex micros do not shutdown with any higher kernel.
Today i find that my kernel is now “Unsupported” so im about to go back to linux61 LTS. I hope it all works.
I have browsed through this thread, but i don’t know if this problem is fixed now or what? Is it safe for me and others to update the kernel yet?
I think it is a workaround to upgrade the system for now. But not permanent.
I did the same.
I’d rather hear the reason why ZFS was dropped by a Manjaro developer - like @philm for example.
Also very important - please explain what this means:
Some dkms support?
When are you (the Manjaro developers) planning on dropping it completely?
Other people do actually use ZFS and might be interested in the date when their systems will stop working.
It is very unusual to just drop support for features…

This issue was fixed with a nvidia driver update last week ago… i have a 2080Ti and no more flickering… im also wrote this in 4-5 Topics after the patch comes out.
As far i know, 545 was a beta driver (not long ago, i read that message in nvidia forum) i dont think this changed now.
We don’t need a buggy driver in stable branch.

I’d also like to add, that I’m quite sad, that ZFS support will be dropped. I switched completely to ZFS and we even use it at work for our servers. Over the last years it has proven to be quite a lot more reliable than mdraid or hardware raids…
Is there a long term “unsupported” way to keep using ZFS on Manjaro, or do we only have to switch distros to keep using ZFS?

545 left beta a week ago: Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver | 545.29.02 | Linux 64-bit | NVIDIA
I can’t comment as to its stability but it does have lots of much needed fixes in it, and the addition of DEGAMMA_LUT, which will allow Night Light to finally work in GNOME. So hopefully it makes it into Stable as soon as safely possible.

Came to post that with the latest update on gnome, Qt based applications that are autostarted, don’t use dbus before restarting them. It’s as if dbus doesn’t run when these applications (in my case keepassxc and nextcloud-desktop) start.
Restarting them fixes the issue, but I don’t want to deal with this at each reboot.
