FYI — from the Manjaro stable update thread (2026-07-11): [Stable Update] 2026-07-11 - Kernels, COSMIC 1.2, Xorg, Firefox, Thunderbird, KDE Gear - #6 by Teo - Stable Updates - Manjaro Linux Forum

From some reading: If you hit a “conflicting files” error on lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings (a leftover .pyc from the Python 3.13→3.14 bump), it’s not recommended to reach for --overwrite — especially --overwrite "*", which matches every path on the system and lets pacman silently clobber files owned by any package, hiding real conflicts down the line. There’s no need for it when the conflict is a single throwaway cache file. Just remove the __pycache__ folder and update normally:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/lightdm_gtk_greeter_settings/__pycache__/
sudo pacman -Syu

pacman regenerates the correct package-owned bytecode afterwards.
