The only configurations I did was learning around the few differences in KDE System Settings, a few things are placed elsewhere or require different steps than I used to do. I played a lot with Conky, added coolbits=4 for nvidia, dolphin settings, firefox, migrated my config files like nanorc, aliases in fish shell, grub custom, gave me the sudo authorization in pam.d, few things like this.
No kernel changes, I was not even at patching it for my it87 sensors module. I did it on my test installation and it worked, latte was still working there too afterwards. But on this installation here it's all fresh.
I must have hit a wrong command at some point. I hope I understand what I did so I can learn from it, though. I remember having this issue when I first booted and upgraded to Ultimate:
could not satisfy dependencies:
removing poppler-qt5 breaks dependency 'poppler-qt5' required by kfilemetadata,
if possible, remove kfilemetadata and retry
removing poppler-qt5 breaks dependency 'poppler-qt5' required by okular,
if possible, remove okular and retry
I got away by installing only 1 app at a time, although I did remove Okular and reinstall it afterwards.
Let's see the output of
sudo pacman -Syu
