Manjaro stable, Snaps not working on Kernel 6.8.4-1

Just a PSA for anyone beating their head against a wall trying to figure out why snaps are not working on their Manjaro stable install.

The current top kernel (6.8.4-1) is bugged and causes snaps to give this error:

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using “squashfs”

Apparently the newer version of the 6.8 kernel available in Manjaro testing works fine.

Did you update the kernel and have not rebooted? If so, yeah, the kernel can’t load the module because the modules are gone since the running kernel isn’t the same as installed.

I had updated the kernel several days ago and have rebooted several times since then.

Ended up rebooting into a lower kernel to use the snap, luckily I don’t often need to use it.
