I’m using tty3.
I ran that command but everything is up to date. Still get stuck with the frozen spinner 
Can you show us also:

Seems ok …
Do you have untended pacnews?
pacdiff -o
/etc/shells.pacnew
/etc/default/grub.pacnew
/etc/pamac.conf.pacnew
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.pacnew
/etc/pacman.conf.pacnew
/etc/pam.d/sddm.pacnew
All of them should be handled, but these may be directly related to your problem:
And this one probably means you dont have your mirrors correct:
Without being able to interact with a graphical desktop it will be more difficult to compare the files … you wont be able to use something like meld … unless you use a live environment and chroot in.
You can do it directly and tediously manually using nano or micro, etc.
Or if you are comfortable using things like vim -d that will work swimmingly.
If you dont know what/why/how/etc of pacnews … the gist is you want to preserve important configs while merging new standards. Without the env var set you might use
DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff -s
(in a graphical environment that is … from tty … there are only so many console comparison tools, none of them super newbie-friendly)
Everything about pacnews/pacsaves:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Pacnew_and_Pacsave
PS. To quickly go over some of the sample messages:
Just a warning … likely because a piece of firmware is signed badly. Nothing to do.
webcam. Not important, at least for now.
bluetooth is also not important for now. This has to do with vendor and device ID I think.
This is a message that can be ignored … it mainly tells me that watchdog is not properly disabled.
I’m a nano user unfortunately. I’m a git user though, does that help me?
Can I copy over these trouble .pacnew files over to my laptop and run the diff?
I wonder if i can ‘roll back’? I have timeshift running, though I’ve never really put it to use
Sorry, I am the wrong one to ask about backups.
Though, I would guess that should work if available.
Other thoughts …
There are a few packages that might work for you: dotpac in the AUR … or maybe etc-update in the repos. But I have used neither.
PS. I found this reply that seems to have an idea about using git with pacnews…
And yet another snippet from the fellow who wrote the merge feature in pacdiff:
MERGEPROG='git merge-file -p --diff3' pacdiff -s
But I honestly have no idea about that - I never use merge.
So I installed xfce from tty3 and am able to boot into it.
KDE is still broken it seems. Does this help my situation at all? Should I remove KDE and reinstall? I would hate to lose all my settings, widgets, etc. 
Well, you may want to create a new user and see if a fresh profile let you boot into Plasma Desktop …

Ok so I created a new user and I’m able to log in to KDE just fine. I assume this means that KDE is just fine, and my main user bassam is ‘broken’. Anyone to ‘repair’ user bassam?
it simply means that you have some custom settings or plasmoids added which doesn’t work with the update. You can compare your home directories and config files to figure our what is broken. Mostly just some settings issue …

If you dont mind resetting things you can do (from affected user)
cd ~/.config && for j in plasma*; do mv -- "$j" "${j%}.bak"; done && rm Trolltech.conf && kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental && cd ~
Honestly I haven’t installed anything recently. I avoid AUR packages. I mostly use VSCode, dbeaver, anything basically that a frontend dev uses, no games, etc.
I just checked the journal and it has a lot more going on:

Wish I could do a git diff bassam..testuser
Well mostly it is in your .config folders:
diff -Npur /home/user1/.config /home/user2/.config > changes.diff

I also added a new user via tty3. I managed to login as well. The old user is indeed broken with this update. After trying config diff, it doesn’t seem to show any major differences.

I’m curious to see how we can get ourselves out of this one.
At least it looks like we’re on the right track.

So I ended up doing it all from that section in the link:
$ for j in plasma*; do mv -- "$j" "${j%}.bak"; done
$ rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
$ kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
$ rm -rf ~/.cache/*
Made no difference. One thing that I did notice when rebuilding the cache, not sure if it means anything:
I guess there is a widget that is broken? Will keep at it.
Yes this one is a toughy. I’ve been using manjaro for 9-10 years now, can’t imagine my life without it. I do a fresh install every 4 years or so, the last install being about 1 year ago, don’t want to do it again so soon.
I wonder if you want to try rebuilding the cache from this link, note that it had no effect on my machine.
EDIT can you also post the output from journalctl -p3 -b-1? Here’s what I’m getting, maybe there’s a pattern here.

I solved the failing login to plasma with help from Arch forum 
But I cannot post links yet. In short:
I’ve tracked down the json problem to ~/.local/share/mime/packages and ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache. For some reason putting either of these back into my home folder instantly breaks everything. I’m not, however, sure if this is the cause of all of my problems. It is a good start, though. I’m not seeing anything broken by that file and directory not being there so I’m just going to ignore that for now. I also managed to rebuild my mime.cache with “mkdir ~/.local/share/mime/packages && update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime”

Thank you! This has helped with my plasma installation
