Manjaro KDE - Pre-update
- Removed any custom widgets or themes. Checked
~/.config/*.*for any remnants that might interfere. - Switched to a default Global theme (Breeze).
- Double-checked this announcement thread for possible issues that might affect me specifically.
Manjaro KDE - Update
- Logged out, and performed the update from a TTY.
→ Update Manjaro the Smart Way
→ Updating Manjaro as Safely as Possible - Updated completed without incident using:
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu - After a reboot, logged in (Wayland).
- No obvious issues.
First impressions
- I’m not liking the new taskbar at all.
The setting to change that to the previous non-floating taskbar can be found via the Edit Mode dialog. - Settings items are reorganised; time to retrain the brain.

Next steps
- Perform updates on actual hardware rather than VM installs.
Cheers.
