The Optimus-manager package has been updated and included in manjaro again. The version is 1.4+r12 https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/community/optimus-manager. I have hold the update because I don't know if it can break something.
What do you recommend me to do?
Continue with AUR or "update" to manjaro?

Those who want to use Optimus Manager with Qtile need to install optimus-manager-git package from AUR, for the time being (at least until the next version is released, i.e. either 1.4.1 or 1.5).

@MarsSeed @cena Sorry for my lack of experience, but the git log of https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager.git and https://aur.archlinux.org/optimus-manager.git is completely different and the git log of latter does not reflects the Qtile commit or any other commit except from Robin Lange robin.langenc@gmail.com.

@cena it's 2022, dude, not 2021! :D

The qtile fix commit got merged on the master branch on 23 Feb, 2022.

Last release v1.4 was published on 28 Feb 2021, more than a year ago.

Still, this version is not out of date, it just doesn't support Qtile yet.

The developer said they can not test the requested fix so they rely on others' feedback. No one replied yet if that fix works or not.

I think the current out-of-date flag is a mistake. Its comment says references a wrong Qtile shutdown command. I had a look at referenced pull request and found out that the correct qtile shutdown command is already included in v1.4.

Thanks for the update!

Still working well.

Can you move optimus-manager.conf to /etc/optimus-manager/? I think this makes it easier to configure,Thanks

Optimus Manager is still broken because of a missing (mismatching) dependency. (See my out-of-date flag message.)

Reason for wrong Mesa dependency: extra/mesa-demos was split last year.

Needed /usr/bin/glxinfo is now part of extra/mesa-utils. Consequently, 'mesa-demos' is no longer a needed dependency.

Solution - please declare the following dependency instead of mesa-demos:

depends=('mesa-utils')
  -or preferably- 
depends=('glxinfo')
