/etc/hosts.pacnew
and
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
Forgot to mention that it shows this in Garuda Rani.
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew can usually be safely deleted, since garuda-update handles refreshing the mirrorlist unless you specify --skip-mirrorlist or have it set in your config.
As for /etc/hosts.pacnew, you have to check your hosts file and see if there is anything you want to keep, but I opted for simply moving the new file in place of the old one since they seemed similar enough.

You can try merging with Rani but that is kind of experimental as of now. I would simply
sudo rm /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew && sudo mv /etc/hosts.pacnew /etc/hosts
Like I said, do check your /etc/hosts and note that in future instances you eventually will have to use some merging tool, especially when /etc/pacman.conf gets updated.

Right, you can also opt to simply delete the /etc/hosts.pacnew as well, your choice

Whats the best merging tool to use in the future?
Use pacdiif in terminal, it uses Meld, but you can change it to your liking.
It’s Linux.
