- 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.

You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.11.so.
Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.11/ :
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.11/
Rebuild them all at once:*
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.11)

No plasma interface with kernel 6.9 + Nvidia gpu + Wayland
If you encouter a black screen with no inteface after login in, it’s probably a problem with simpledrm loading.
To solve it add nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 to /etc/default/grub
in the line begining with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" .
Verify that you also have nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in the same line.
Then exec sudo update-grub
Also, verify that you have nvidia_drm in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the MODULES= or HOOKS= line.
Exemple :
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
If it was not present, then run sudo mkinitcpio -P after adding it.

The default KDE Plasma session has been changed to X11
As of Plasma 6, KDE decided to make Wayland the default. However, since issues were discovered, we have reverted the default to X11. Users are free to choose whichever works best for them.
Previous testing threads:
Be carefull, the pacnew for « /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf » are adding some lignes but also replace
Branch = testing
with
# Branch = stable
I suppose manjaro will default to « stable » if there is no « Branch » specified.
