[Stable Update] 2026-05-02 - Kernels, Plasma, GNOME, Mesa, Systemd, VirtualBox, LibreOffice

Is this gonna be fixed? As far as I know the wayland support is experimental and several things do not work.

EDIT: There also seems to be some discrepancies regarding the Nvidia driver in this release. On my testing branch machine I run Cinnamon with

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE 
x11
$ pacman -sQ '.*linux[0-9]+.*'
local/linux618 6.18.26-1
    The Linux 6.18 kernel and modules
local/linux618-nvidia-580xx 580.159.03-2 (linux618-extramodules)
    NVIDIA kernel modules for linux618
local/linux70 7.0.3-1
    The Linux 7.0 kernel and modules
local/linux70-nvidia-580xx 580.159.03-2 (linux70-extramodules)
    NVIDIA kernel modules for linux70

while on my stable system I run Cinnamon with

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE 
x11
$ pacman -sQ '.*linux[0-9]+.*'
local/linux618 6.18.18-1
    The Linux 6.18 kernel and modules
local/linux618-nvidia-580xx 580.142-3 (linux618-extramodules)
    NVIDIA kernel modules for linux618
local/linux619 6.19.8-1
    The Linux 6.19 kernel and modules
local/linux619-nvidia-580xx 580.142-3 (linux619-extramodules)
    NVIDIA kernel modules for linux619

and when trying to update I get

$ sudo pacman -Syu

and when trying to just install the 7.0 kernel first I get

$ sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux70
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

It seems that not all driver packages got updated for all kernel versions on the stable branch but were on the testing branch. Am I missing something?
