Updated: caught by surprise by the update to Plasma 6

I don’t see it in the announcement thread.

Which part? The suggestion to update via TTY is certainly there.

• If you use KDE you better logout of your session and do the update via Pacman or Pamac in tty.

Also I would, before the update:

make a Timeshift snapshot if you ain’t got no recent one.
( export content of widgets like your radio stations in Advanced Radio Player or your Podcasts in Kasts or any podcatcher as a backup )
make a fresh boot, but before that even:
System Settings > Appearance > Global Theme > set to Breath and tick both options for defaults
You might go to the hamburger menu in System Settings and look what changes you made away from default by selecting: Highlight Changed Settings and see if you want to make the effort to get back more defaults
System Settings > Appearance > Startup and Shutdown: SDDM defaults and Desktop Session: Start with empty session
disable all user-installed widgets that are still on your desktop, panels and even lock screen or wallpaper (e.g. Active Blur)
Export your custom shortcuts or mouse gestures in SS> Workspace > Shortcuts
Reboot, Timeshift snapshot, reboot
then do not log in, do the update via tty (CTRL+ALT+F3, same with F2 gets you back)
reboot, login, check through System Settings
reboot again
enjoy 8)

post-install:

look for Plasma 6 replacements for your widgets after the install
in case you have Github-installed theming: uninstall the KDE5-version of klassy, install the Plasma 6 version of klassy, maybe reinstall lightly
