- Manjaro, like many other open-source projects, relies on the generosity of its community through donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development. These donations are essential in covering the various expenses incurred in the operations of the project such as server costs, software development tools, infrastructure expenses, training, flying people to events or conferences and the salaries of key developers. With the help of these donations, Manjaro is able to secure the necessary financial stability that allows the project to continuously improve and remain active. If you love Manjaro, consider to donate!
- As you might have seen some of our team were able to attend FOSDEM 2023 and the conference proved to be incredibly productive for us. See our blog post for more.

Replace glfw-wayland with extra/glfw?
Say yes.
I’m on Sway, so I can’t guarantee results with other WMs.
I don’t have qt6 installed, should I install it?
It will get installed as a dependency if something you use needs it.

Successful update, no errors 
Everything works well! No Plasma 6 yet though? Hopefully we’ll be seeing that in the next one.
Plasma 6 is not even stable on Arch yet. But it’s good idea to wait for couple rounds of fixes.
Oh, if there are stability issues that’s good then. Plasma 6 was just officially released: I was under the impression a final release that’s no longer RC / Beta should always be stable with all major issues having been found.
Stability (=won’t crash essentially) and stable (=development goals reached) release are not same thing. Stable here points to repository. 6.0.1 is currently in Arch testing repo. It won’t be in Manjaro Stable repo until it reaches Arch Stable repo. While Plasma 6 was released as stable release by KDE, it won’t get adapted to various Linux distro repositories automatically. Distro has to maintain configurations and other relevant settings and compatibility with other packages, fit to release cycle and update policies etc. So it’s much bigger release in that sense than just KDE pushing it out.
