As of now `sudo pacman -Syu` installs KDE Plasma 6.0.2 on Manjaro Testing branch. See
https://dbaxps.blogspot.com/2024/03/kde-plasma-602-on-manjar...
Setup in mentioned link was performed on bare metal. Same setup in VENV might need switch to unstable. UPDATE as of 03/19/24 One more screenshot added to blog entry $ neofetch $ pacman-mirrors -G testing UPDATE as of 03/20/24 In meantime you may be forced to switch to unstable $ sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable $ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syu UPDATE as of 03/21/2024 I was able to find workaround and keep manjaro's testing repos to install KDE Plasma 6.0.2 after switching to libvirt's default network for particular KVM guest (Linux bridging vs NAT). Placing VM on linux bridge seems to be the core issue for myself either it is/was just a matter of luck. Actually working with manjaro's testing branch is an exciting adventure I've posted details in the blog entry. UPDATE as of 03/22/2024 My major concern is :- Looks like command $ sudo pacman -Syyu goes directly to Arch Linux stable repos. In reality prepared by the command up here package's sets would be the same with no dependency on did I specify "testing" or "unstable" when excuted $ sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing either $ sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable. That is just my experience after deploying several VMs (around 5-6) on different hosts. UPDATE as of 03/23/2024 I may confirm the issue mentioned in https://forum.manjaro.org/t/i-tested-kde-6-oh-my-oh-my-you-w... <<So after update (pacman -Syyu) you have no webp thumbnails in Dolphin and Gwenview cannot display those photos (webp). What will a typical user do? >>. I've also tested with no problems opening *.webp files via Dolphin on the most recent fedora 40 KDE nightly build and on openSUSE Tumbleweed with `sudo zypper dup` as of today (03/23/24). CachyOS 2024.3 (with `sudo pacman -Syu` also as of today) showed up failure to open via Dolphin *.webp images. I've also updated blog entry accordingly .

I issued `sudo pacman -S qt6-imageformats` :- webp : qt5-imageformats → qt6-imageformats gimp : kimageformats5 → kimageformats It fixes the problem on Manjaro testing all the way around .

Arch does not directly link openssh to liblzma, and thus this attack vector is not possible. You can confirm this by issuing the following command: ldd "$(command -v sshd)" However, out of an abundance of caution, we advise users to remove the malicious code from their system by upgrading either way. This is because other yet-to-be discovered methods to exploit the backdoor could exist. – Arch Linux - News: The xz package has been backdoored 20 Final draft may viewed here http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/339565/index.html UPDATE as of 04/09/20224 As of now you might need $ sudo pacman -Syyu after updating mirror's list.

Which one of commands $ sudo pacman -Syu either $ sudo pacman -Syyu does "extra" repository synchronization , this one is supposed to be issued. I am hesitant to detect here any in depth explanation . Increasing number of mirrors from 5 to 15 allows me to succeed with following upgrade $ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 15 && sudo pacman -Syu . Just 10 mirrors forced me to execute $ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 10 && sudo pacman -Syyu .
