I am currently testing on rpi 5.
Patching the installer
Ensure you have the meta base-devel and git installed - you may already have - you should know - in any case
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel git --needed
I started by cloning the installer from Manjaro gitlab
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/applications/manjaro-arm-installer.git
Then patch the manjaro-arm-installer script to be able to target a specific branch - as we need the arm-unstable branch.
Navigate into the folder and use curl to fetch the patch file
cd manjaro-arm-installer
curl -O https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/applications/manjaro-arm-installer/uploads/9b8a1538979012a883e230c2eba6b500/01_set_branch.patch
Then patch the script
patch -u manjaro-arm-installer -i 01_set_branch.patch
Getting started
Since the rpi4 is the only device, I built a minimal image for rpi4 (using the patched installer script)
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
sudo bash manjaro-arm-installer arm-unstable
I got the rpi5 running - the remaining setup is performed on the running pi5
→ Minimal image on rpi5 → inxi -Fxxx → http://ix.io/4L8G
Adding a GUI.
For this I used my lxqt-kwin config from GitHub - fhdk/lxqt-kwin.
Follow instructions provided in https://github.com/fhdk/lxqt-kwin/blob/main/README.md
It is necessary to add the above xorg configuration to be able start the display manager.
→ lxqt-kwin on rpi5 → inxi -Fxxx → http://ix.io/4L8U
At this point the system is using mesa from the repo
→ glxinfo -B → http://ix.io/4L8X
Adding Wayland
Installing packages plasma-wayland-session and plasma-desktop (still using repo mesa)
→ running plasma wayland session → inxi -Fxxx → http://ix.io/4L90

I hope an img hits soon with your guide
It is ultra simple to DYI - the above is proof of that.
Yes, but someone like me will spend the whole night getting to work!
anyways, I am giving this ago on the existing xfce install I moved over.
TLDR
create a new sdcard - using a patched installer - and arm-unstable branch
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel git --needed
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/applications/manjaro-arm-installer.git
cd manjaro-arm-installer
curl -O https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/applications/manjaro-arm-installer/uploads/9b8a1538979012a883e230c2eba6b500/01_set_branch.patch
patch -u manjaro-arm-installer -i 01_set_branch.patch
sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
sudo bash manjaro-arm-installer arm-unstable
Place the sdcard in your pi and boot it
- USERNAME is the username you used above
- replace fido below with the one you used
USERNAME=fido
userdel -rf $USERNAME
sudo pacman -Syu git
git clone https://github.com/fhdk/lxqt-kwin.git
cd lxqt-kwin
bash setup.sh $USERNAME

Reboot the system
I installed plasma-wayland-session and plasma-desktop
on the existing xfce xorg setup, what do I need to do to switch to kde wayland ?
I will onlly have remoet terminal access if I switch the display manager etc…
thanks linux-aarhus
There is absolutely no gain by switching to Wayland on a pi - the question was how to switch from pi4 to pi5
If you have working install you would only have to switch to unstable branch and update your system
sudo pacman-mirrors -aU unstable && sudo pacman -Syyu
Xfce and Plasma doesn’t play well together …
If you really want Wayland and Plasma, create a new sdcard from scratch as described above.
I’m getting somewhere,
so far I installed sddm, ran pkill -15 Xorg. then was able to log into kde Xorg,
I am stilll using vnc here as its not compatible with wayland.
I think the final questions would be to disable xfce/xfwm4 and make kde plasma/Xorg the default.
Technically you should be able to run
sudo systemctl --enable sddm
And
sudo pacman -Rns xfce4
Then at log in select plasma x11 in the desktop options of sddm
super, what about just disabling xfce4? or will it cause problems for kde plasma
you cannot disable xfce - only remove it
Many thanks for this I will give it a go 
They seem to have it fixed. A patch has been submitted and waiting to be rebased into the “main” tree.

She works.
Which mesa do you have installed? If you are using the one in the repo would you test this one I compiled and post the same inxi command report. This is new. I discovered that RPi OS’s patch was a patch that had @150 patches in it. Several patches within a patch so they never got applied before in my previous compile. I see that no one has not downloaded it yet.
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/switch-install-from-rpi4-to-rpi5/150632/39
Just installed the patch. I should grabbed before doing the patch… Ah whoops…
