The default KDE Plasma session has been changed to X11
As of Plasma 6, KDE decided to make Wayland the default. However, since issues were discovered, we have reverted the default to X11. Users are free to choose whichever works best for them.

Plasma 6 issues with Manjaro themes & tools
Prepare for a Plasma 6 release (#2) · Issues · Release plan / KDE · GitLab
DKMS fails for v4l2loopback on 6.8 kernel
New version of kvantum does not support QT5 theme
Install new package kvantum-qt5 for QT5 theme support
required for manjaro-settings-manager and audacious
pamac install kvantum-qt5

cd $HOME; ln -s .profile .xprofile
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
