Manjaro Linux 26.0.2 Anh‑Linh is now on the mirrors, built on the 6.18 kernel while still offering LTS kernels (6.12, 6.6) for older machines that can’t handle the newest drivers. The GNOME spin upgrades to GNOME 49 with a tidier calendar, hideable sidebar, and a reworked Flatpak parser that cuts memory use and makes the software store noticeably faster on modest hardware. KDE Plasma 6.5 adds optional rounded window corners, a time‑based light/dark theme switcher, broader application permission controls, and an RDP server that syncs clipboard credentials without extra passwords. The Xfce edition moves to 4.20, bringing Thunar file‑coloring rules, built‑in recursive search, exact‑pixel panel sizing, and a “keep panel above windows” option for more predictable layouts.
