- 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.

Making dbus-broker our default D-Bus daemon
2024-01-09 – Jan Alexander Steffens
We are making
dbus-brokerour default implementation of D-Bus, for improved performance, reliability and integration with systemd.For the foreseeable future we will still support the use of
dbus-daemon, the previous implementation. Pacman will ask you whether to installdbus-broker-unitsordbus-daemon-units. We recommend picking the default.For a more detailed rationale, please see our RFC 25.

Previous testing threads:
Unfortunately this update seems to have broken KDE6 HDR mode. HDR is enabled but the colors look very washed out. I connected the same monitor to another computer before and after the update and it went from vibrant HDR to muted washed out picture with the update. I’m connected over Display Port, kernel 6.8. It happens both on a 7840u APU and 6900xt. I’ve disabled HDR for now. Other than that everything seems great!
After this update I’ve had the problem described here. For the moment I solved downgrading gdm.
Issue with kernel linux68 persists concerning extfs:
Can’t open blockdev
Plasma panel does not float. In edit mode it seems to be floating, but when closed is sinks again.
