On XFCE I ran into: “Black desktop on startup/during initial load”. Might be fixed in XFCE 4.20.1.
Moderator edit: Fixed link
xfdesktop 4.20.1 is available from Testing and Unstable branches
Branch compare for Manjaro - xfdesktop

As of today I have run into this:
could not find database
When attempting at synching package databases in Pamac 10.7.0
Trying to figure out what to do next I have found this:
https://archlinux.org/news/cleaning-up-old-repositories/
If I understand well, all I need to do is go to:
/etc/pacman.conf/
And delete the part that says:
[community]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
That’s all? Am I not wrong about it?

Yes, but you should have removed the community repository when it was deprecated 2 years ago.

And users should manage pacnew/pacsave files as intended, not haphazardly make edits to files as extrapolated from other forum users own histories of management.
They exist for a reason.
They cannot be ignored indefinitely.
They are an important and appreciated part of ALPM [Arch Linux Package Management].
Please manage your pacnews.
