Mesa is updated through KDE Discover?
Using discover for updating Arch (-based) systems is not recommended.
It uses packagekit as backend which obfuscates the update process and you may miss on important messages that you might get in the terminal.
This is what pacman says about packagekit:
Optional dependencies for discover
flatpak: Flatpak packages support [installed]
fwupd: firmware update support [installed]
packagekit-qt6: to manage packages from Arch Linux repositories (not recommended, use at your own risk)

I always use pacman or yay for updating but today I saw a notification for Discover and Mesa was there. I tought it was wierd, thats why i asked. So I just ignore it?
Don’t ignore the update. You could update your system in the terminal.
If you want you could disable the notification from discover in Settings >> Software Update

Those are flatpak updates.
By the nature of flatpaks, you end up having to installing duplicates of things you already have on your system.
There is no issue with using Discover to update your flatpaks like that.

I have Mesa 24.1.3-arch1.1 and in Discover it says 24.1.1. When I write yay or pacman -Syu nothing pop ups for Mesa. Seems wierd
See @dalto’s post!

See my comment above. Those are not package updates, they are flatpak updates.
