Stuck on boot after update TTY working

Thats a lot …

The way I deal with them is:

pacdiff -s 

which will properly pass sudoedit to my DIFFPROG which is set to meld.

IF you havent set the DIFFPROG env var … then you can use something like:

DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff -s

OR
If you want something that will give you a presumptuous GUI you can install and use

manjaro-pacnew-checker

This could also be the actual source of your problems. Ignoring pacnews will break things eventually.
