Systemd 251: Release notes
There have been a lot of major changes. The minimum kernel version required has been bumped from 3.13 to 4.15. This of course means Manjaro has dropped the 4.9 and 4.14 LTS kernels.

New warnings when building the fallback initcpio - Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa, qed, qla1280, qla2xxx
That’s due to the recent changes to the linux-firmware package. Note these are warnings, not errors. You only need those firmwares if you have Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices and Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters. if you have that hardware you can install linux-firmware-qlogic to get rid of those warnings. If you do not have that hardware you can safely ignore those warnings.
pamac install linux-firmware-qlogic

Python packages from PIP and AUR - how to upgrade them - detailed instructions
its ok with kernel 5.18.1 , nvidia driver 518.47.07 , Youtube(1080p x 60fps ) , Steam(Opengl & Proton 7.3 ) , Xfce
for kernel 5.18 , no more amd-pstate back to acpi-cpufreq
i have theses options on boot kernels for AMD zen2+ and more , and CPPC AUTO on UEFI motherboard
amd_pstate.enable=1 amd_pstate.shared_mem=1
with version 5.17.12

acpi-cpufreq
I have some issues with kernel 5.18.1, I’m using manjaro as a host for qemu vms and I’m noticing stuttering inside them, it seems due to high cpu usage.
This doesn’t happen with 5.15 or 5.17.
Running 2x old sandy bridge e5-2687w
about this point , UEFI motherboard has both options for CPU ZEN2+
for acpi-cpufreq you cant go under 2200mhz , it mean even in idle , so not good for any laptop
for amd-pstate , cppc will use sequence order cpu to use the number core with lower temp and can go to lower frequency 550Mhz , better for any laptop
adwaita-maia-compact-dark theme works, but other default dark themes e.g. Matcha-dark-aliz do not work with it.
But the old version of evolution 3.44.1-1 works fine with these different themes.
