Plasma 6 issues with Manjaro themes & tools

issues with auto-mount of ntfs filesystem using Kernel 6.8
The kernel changed default ntfs driver from FUSE one to ntfs3.
These two are not fully compatible, mainly as far as mount options go. If you have custom mount options in the fstab (or any other application, such as VeraCrypt) they need to be changed.
Symptoms:
Mount fails with: Device or resource busy
DMesg reports: Can't open blockdev
Solution:
Migrate your mount options. For me the changes were:
allow_other→umask=000default_permissions→ [drop]user_id=1000→uid=1000group_id=1000→gid=1000

Making dbus-broker our default D-Bus daemon
2024-01-09 - Jan Alexander Steffens
We are making
dbus-brokerour default implementation of D-Bus, for improved performance, reliability and integration with systemd.For the foreseeable future we will still support the use of
dbus-daemon, the previous implementation. Pacman will ask you whether to installdbus-broker-unitsordbus-daemon-units. We recommend picking the default.For a more detailed rationale, please see our RFC 25.
