Manjaro Linux is a fast, user-friendly, desktop-oriented operating system based on Arch Linux. Key features include intuitive installation process, automatic hardware detection, stable rolling-release model, ability to install multiple kernels, special Bash scripts for managing graphics drivers and extensive desktop configurability.

Linux kernel 6.18 is used for this release, such as the latest drivers available to date.

The KDE Plasma edition comes with the latest Plasma 6.5 series, Frameworks 6.21 and KDE Gear 25.12. It brings exciting new improvements to your desktop.

Plasma 6.5 includes a number of highly-requested features:

First up: rounded bottom window corners! Breeze-themed windows will now have the same level of roundness in all four corners. If you don’t like this, you can un-round them, too. Another one is automatic light-to-dark theme switching based on the time of day. You can configure which global themes it switches between, and also which themes are shown on the manual toggles on System Settings’ Quick Settings page. As a part of this feature, you can also configure whether you want the wallpaper to switch between its light and dark versions based on the color scheme, the time of day, or be always light or dark.

The Flatpak Permissions page got transformed into a general Application Permissions page, where you can configure apps’ ability to do things like take screenshots and accept remote control requests.

Plasma’s built in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server now lets you share the clipboard. You’re also no longer required to manually create separate remote desktop accounts; now the system’s existing user accounts work as expected, and you can just supply their credentials to the RDP client app.

The utility that reads the level of ink or toner from your printer now informs you when it’s running low or empty.

And finally, you can now hibernate your system from the login screen.
