yeah i meant to ask the G @Technetium
I have no concerns about adding the first 2, but there may be a packaging problem with the browser glancing the comments. Will trust xiotaās judgment for that. Iāll open issues on GitHub to track them soon.

The following is the entirety of the package. As you can see, it is targeting desktops running OpenRC explicitly. Arch has not supported OpenRC since 2012. For that reason, I donāt think this is right for us to add. Note that you can wget -O /usr/bin/artix-pipewire-loader https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/artix-pipewire-loader?h=artix-pipewire-loader without bothering to build anything.

# PipeWire launcher script for XDG compliant desktops on OpenRC.

# systemd users are very _STRONGLY_ advised to use the much
# more reliable and predictable user units instead.
# WARNING: This script assumes being run inside XDG compliant session,
# which means D-Bus session instance is expected to be correctly set up
# prior to this script starting. If that is not true, things may break!
# Best to reap any existing daemons and only then try to start a new set.

# Commenting this out will stop the PA proxying daemon from starting,
# however ALSA (with pipewire-alsa), JACK (with jack-sdk) and PW API using

# non-PW apps over HW control (most notably, /usr/bin/pulseaudio daemon).

Thank you man.
Latest Plasma dropped 6.4-3 I think, causes Kwin-effect plugins to not work. I have found the following not working so far;
kwin-effect-rounded-corners
kwin-effects-forceblur
Reinstalled both, rebooted, still no options available.
try garuda-update -u they have to be rebuilt ageist the new kwin every time it updates.
*Edit: garuda-update -- -u This will trigger force blur to be rebuilt ageist the new ver of kwin

Not a issue with 6.4.3 at least here itās not, but went to do Garyās updates two days ago and no blur whatsoever. I launched pacseek and checked and it was still installed. I replaced it with the git version. Better but still not the level of blur he had. Think it might be hardware related cause we are running all the same software and even after 6.4.3 last night on mine everything looks good with blur.

Thanks for all the help everyone. Got both working but with two different solutions.
Kwin-effect-rounded-corners came in with an update last night; kwin-effect-rounded-corners-git-0.7.2.r65.ga440d26-1.1 which fixed the issue.
Kwin-effects-forceblur was still not working , so as instructed, I switched to the .git version in AUR and that worked, so maybe the Chaotic-Aur devs need to refresh their version to match the .git version?

Weāre currently aware of some triggers not being processed quickly enough. The pipeline frequency has been increased and should result in more frequent checks and therefore rebuilds. Please do continue to post here if thereās not an update for blur within ~1hour of kwin updating.

[SECURITY] firefox-patch-bin, librewolf-fix-bin and zen-browser-patched-bin AUR packages contain malware
They have since been deleted, and werenāt provided by Chaotic-AUR.
If you have/had one of these installed, you should probably reinstall your OS.
Want to check? This should have no result:
grep -e "firefox-patch-bin" -e "librewolf-fix-bin" -e "zen-browser-patched-bin" /var/log/pacman.log
Note from the future: it used this popular RAT GitHub - tiagorlampert/CHAOS: š„ CHAOS is a free and open-source Remote Administration Tool that allow generate binaries to control remote operating systems.

can you please add this new app store
Could I request a change to tutanota-desktop-bin instead of tutanota-desktop ? Both are maintained by the same person in the AUR (yochananmarqos) but only the bin package is up to date.
Recent versions of it are quite important too as it helps the mail sync speed. (I wouldnāt want a secure mail client to be out of date in a general sense either)
edit: just wanted to say that it installed fine for me, so I am unsure what some are saying about errors with validity checks? 
Might be an issue fixed very recently with the appimage source it is using? (or checksum provided?)

Hi. I just ran across the malware warning above on another infosec site. I wigged out until I checked my packages. Maybe this should be in the Announcements? I suspect many more people see that area regularly, who may (still) be not as savvy as other Garuda/linux users, or just new to it in general. ? : ) thx!

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded
Iām brand new to garuda and mostly new to Arch, so not sure if Iām doing something wrong here. Other packages seem fine, and I was able to upgrade the distro once I removed zen-browser - it had been blocking the normal update before.
EDIT: It seems to work if I do paru -Sa zen-browser - I added to -a to install from AUR instead of chaotic AUR (I think)
You need to refresh mirrors possibly, if the lists are old then of course they are pointing to an invalid package.

I believe they were niche packages and not used by very many people, so Iām not sure that itās necessarily announcement-worthy. People that suddenly have an orphan package will likely search and find out about it. I did post about it in the social chat a couple of times too, so it should be well-indexed

I see the reasoning behind this. Unfortunately it seems like upstream forgot to update some dependencies for a couple releases. Thatās a bit of a development failure, but it does happen to even the best. It is often felt rapidly by rolling-release users. Itās a joy and curse of always using the latest versions and having choice in the sources used. In the meantime, building an older version of Emscripten is a valid workaround to me for the immediately foreseeable future. The other outdated dependency problem(s?) got resolved apparently in the most recent release(s).
There was indeed notice given via pinned comment to switch to the other package that went unnoticed, but it is resolved as of at least yesterday. I did not test compiling any older version than the latest:
If it didnāt compile, and I couldnāt reasonably find out why, Iād switch the package, but Iām heavily biased towards keeping non -bin versions of things like mail clients whenever feasible, so I had a look to try and fix it on the latest version, which required no actual effort than noticing a binary name changed between releases.
This maintainer has a solid reputation for fast updates, so I have reported it functional via comment, as well as given notice that it requires the .desktop file to point to the new binary: AUR (en) - tutanota-desktop
You should expect them to update it quite soon, and for Chaotic-AUR to pull that commit and build successfully shortly thereafter. Thanks for reporting this!
