Manjaro 25.1 Preview Released, but Users Are Urged Not to Update Yet (linuxiac.com)

Manjaro has pushed the first stable-branch update in the upcoming “Anh-Linh” cycle, serving as a preview of the 25.1 release and introducing major changes to the desktop, kernel, and system components. However, the team is issuing a warning to users: do not update yet.

The reason is that several parts of the update require manual intervention, and in some cases, applying them without preparation may break existing systems (more on this below).

The release brings major upgrades such as Plasma 6.5.3, GNOME 49.2, (eventually) COSMIC Beta 9, LXQt 2.3, updated NVIDIA drivers, Blender 5.0, LibreOffice 25.8.3, a refreshed Mesa stack, and the first build of the Manjaro Control Panel.

X11 causing issues for some users cause it's outdated, wayland fixing a bug involving the package manager meaning you have to run a special command to fix it, and a backup utility of some kind being borked upstream. None of that is Manjaro's fault.

Documented on the Arch wiki for months now.

Starting from Plasma 6.4, the Wayland session has matured enough to become the default and preferred one: the X11 session is only available separately with the plasma-x11-session package...
