Dolphin now has the ability to launch a window in root mode, so root actions are not as needed as before.
As others stated, you can still acess it directly vid manjaro settings. However, this will come back (if you mean it to be accessible in Plasma settings) once this is ported to qt6. It’s still on the list “to do” things.
For Plasma 6 it’s better to delete old config, which often produce weird effects. I experienced it myself. Once I removed old configs, all those small bugs fixed itself. Too bad, I had to customize Dolphin once again, but it was still better than chasing the config bugs.
This was announced many times very clear, that Plasma 6 defaults to Wayland. You may check out your configs and environmental variables. Some bugs on Nvidia probably happen, but for many, it works well.
I have two questions now.
1. What about those mkinitcpio changes on stable branch? Will this be somehow automated? Or maybe users of stable branch must do the same manual changes?
Some of my family members use Manjaro as well, and I’m afraid, that they will do some update and it will make their system unbootable. Since I am using testing branch most of the time, I have no way of knowing where this problematic update lands on stable and when it will be updated on those computers that I don’t manage directly.
2. Do we need to uninstall all qt5 packages?
A lot of qt5 packages became orphans. I uninstalled them, all works fine, nothing is broken. However, I see still a lot of qt5- packages in system. Here is my list:

Some of them look obsolete, like qt5-wayland. What is the rule here? Can I remove them all, or maybe some of them? If so, how can I know which ones are to go?
