Manjaro Linux 25.0.10 Zetar released

Manjaro Linux has just released its tenth maintenance update for version 25.0.10 Zetar. You can now download it in three different flavors: GNOME, Plasma, and XFCE.

Manjaro Zetar has great updates for all of its versions, which make performance and the user experience even better. The GNOME edition is the main focus, and it includes the latest Gnome 48 series, which has many bug fixes and improvements that make the user interface smoother and more polished overall. The stacking notifications feature is a big improvement because it groups alerts from the same app together, which makes it much easier for users to find their way through their notification list.

Manjaro Zetar also adds dynamic triple buffering, which improves performance by reducing skipped frames and making animations smoother. This makes the overall user experience seamless. The option to extend battery life is another important addition. It limits charging to 80% while plugged in, which makes the battery last longer.

The Plasma edition, on the other hand, focuses on graphics and system performance. It has the latest Plasma 6.3 series, which has had a major overhaul of fractional scaling. This has made things a lot less blurry and filled in gaps in the picture. Frameworks 6.12 brings some really cool new features to the desktop, and KDE Gear 24.12 fixes a lot of bugs and makes things run faster.

One of the best things about the Plasma edition is that the graphics are better. KWin works hard to snap things to the screen's pixel grid, which makes things less blurry and fills in gaps. The Night Light feature also now uses ICC profiles to make colors more accurate, which makes the display more accurate. The System Monitor tool has been improved so that it can keep track of CPU usage more accurately while using less CPU power.

The Info Center module gives you more information about GPUs, batteries, and printers, which makes the Plasma edition even better. Users should expect a smoother and more efficient desktop experience with the most recent updates.

On the other hand, the XFCE edition gets important updates that focus on customizing and managing files. Xfce 4.18 adds a new file highlighting feature to the Thunar file manager. This lets users see the differences between different types of files. Thunar now has a recursive search feature that makes it easier for users to find files.

You can also set the panel to keep its length in pixels instead of percentages, which gives you more precise options for customizing it. These updates give XFCE edition users better file management and a more personalized desktop experience.

Manjaro Zetar also has kernel and support features. It uses Kernel 6.12, which has the newest drivers available. Kernel versions 6.6 LTS and 6.1 LTS support older hardware, so this version of Manjaro Linux should work on many different systems without any problems.

Overall, the different versions of Manjaro Zetar have major updates that improve performance and the user experience to new heights. This makes it a solid choice for people who want a polished and efficient desktop experience.
