Currently stuck at console login
I did try reinstall plasma, it downgraded a bunch of stuff but didn’t fix.
also tried downgrading through mirrorlist using
Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2021/10/25/$repo/os/$arch
It failed due to errors
Using startx says fatal server error, no screens found
not sure what to try now

What do your logs say? There is a post on here somewhere telling you how to do it, will look. BRB.
Probably the new nvidia driver, what is your nvidia card?
Not an issue with Plasma, as far as I can tell. Everything works fine here.

nvidia gt740
Im still in the process of looking into it myself, but I get stuck on things easy sometimes,
I’ve got 4 more machines to update but don’t want to until I can solve this.

Same problem here " Nvidia GK104 GTX 770". Laptop with Intel graphics still works. KDE/Plasma on both. Unfortunately may not have time to troubleshoot until after 10PM USA EDT.

It’s likely not in the repos - check the AUR with yay

The 470 driver binary is also in the @jonathon ’s kernel-lts third party repo.
Add the repo and use pacman to install.
Older LTS kernels
Following on from the above thread, I’m thinking about building I have built LTS kernels from the AUR to make them available in an unofficial user repo .
My current builds are now available here: https://repo.m2x.dev/current/kernel-lts/x86_64/
These are built directly from the AUR packaging files. YMMV etc.
This repo has the same stepped cadence available as the other repos if you are already using one of those (make sure you don’t mix cadences).
How to use
Add this to yo…
