System may hang during splash screen when Nvidia 570 drivers are used
A lot of users with older Nvidia cards report system hanging on Plymouth splash screen after installing Nvidia 570 drivers. In the past we had issues with plymouth in general combined with Nvidia drivers. Therefore we didn’t update plymouth in our stable and testing branch.
As a workaround splash could be removed from /etc/default/grub file followed by a update-grub cmd to remove plymouth from starting. Another alternative is to test the newer plymouth and give feedback if that solves the issue:
sudo pacman -U https://mirrors.manjaro.org/repo/pool/overlay/plymouth-24.004.60-12-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

[community] repo removed from servers
Similar to Arch we removed our [community] repos from our mirrors and servers. You may want to check your pacnew files or manually remove [community] and [kde-unstable] when used in your /etc/pacman.conf file.

Update only regular repository packages first, no AUR
Follow the best practice of first updating only regular repository packages, followed separately by AUR packages.
- Update regular repository packages first with
pamac update --no-aur
orsudo pacman -Syu
- Then, if needed, update AUR packages.
Failure to follow this practice may result in the installation of packages that you may not need, and may cause problems. For further details, see:
Keyboard layout issues / Update issues with fcitx5
If a system had sdl2 installed and AUR updates enabled, fcitx5 might be installed as a make dependency
It is recommended to remove fcitx5 and any other orphan packages following the update
pamac remove --orphans
