an OS Update is being offered on "Software" - should I do the update?

[marcih]

You can tap on any item in the Updates tab in Software to display details about the update, what version you're updating and what the new version is etc. For the "OS Update" item, it shows that info for all the packages that are considered "OS updates"; things like the kernel, init and other libraries that can't be considered "apps" are all there with all the details you need. You can also try a manual update with "pacman -Syu" in the terminal which will list all those things too.

Thank you for the input.

Yes, I have noticed that I can click on the "OS Updates" item, and it slides down a "detail view",and one package was listed there with the version etc.. so from what I understand, if additional components were to be updated, they should be listed there as well?

Yes, "OS Updates" would list all the packages that would be updated. If you can see only one, it means only one will be updated. If you're still unsure, you can use the "pacman" command (Arch Linux's, on which Manjaro is based on, package manager) that I wrote in my previous post. For more info, you can enter "man pacman" in the terminal to open the manual for the pacman command.
