When do you plan to update the stable branch

It is possible that Stable branch will skip Plasma 6.4 entirely and go straight to Plasma 6.5, as the next Stable snapshot will probably be the next Manjaro release (25.1.0 a.k.a. “Anh-Linh”). This was mentioned a while ago when the same question about 6.4 was asked in relation to Testing branch:

Today’s Testing update contains this advice:

Testing branch has now been on Plasma 6.4 for nearly a month. You could give it a try by switching to Testing branch - the process is simple to do. As everything has already been tested by Unstable branch, Testing branch is very stable. I consider it to be the best of the 3 branches - more stable than Unstable, and more up-to-date than Stable.

To switch to Testing branch:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing

or, to switch to Unstable branch:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable

After you changed the branch, rebuild the mirrorlist and update your packages:

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu
