Today I took the rolling updates and as it was updating I got an error message that I didn’t understand.
Warning: installing nvidia-utils (460.80-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=460.73.01' required by linux59-nvidia
Add linux59-nvidia to removeI sensed trouble ahead and sure enough after a reboot I get no GDM logon.
I was able to CTRL+ALT+F2 to get into a terminal session and a brief trawl of journalctl -b told me that all was not well with the Nvidia drivers. I tried a re installation based on my current 5.9 kernel with no success.
To resolve it I moved forward into kernel 5.10 and installed the linux510-nvidia module:
sudo mhwd-kernel -li
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
sudo pacman -S linux510-nvidia
sudo rebootNow I’m back in Gnome… but was this the right solution?
Stuff I'm Up To 
Thank you! This worked for me!

Same thing happened to me. Very sad and disappointed latest update of nvidia broke my dual display stable manjaro running for 2 years now. Dont know i can revert or as you tried move agead while maintaining the KDE Manjaro. Any tips?

It’s been a while now and so far the upgrade to 5.10 kernel works just fine. Although I’m using Gnome I would expect the same from KDE if you just upgrade and install the linux510-nvidia package.
I have no problem moving forward, but I’d at least like not to be forced to by a breaking change.
