Manjaro 26.0 "Anh-Linh"
Manjaro brings Arch Linux to a wider audience with a graphical installer, curated hardware detection, and a testing branch that holds packages briefly before they reach users. Version 26.0 ships Linux 6.18 LTS and the first stable COSMIC desktop.

Manjaro takes Arch’s rolling-release package base and wraps it in a friendlier installation and update experience: a graphical Calamares installer, automatic hardware detection, and a staged release process where packages sit in Manjaro’s own testing and stable branches for a short period before reaching users, rather than flowing straight from Arch unstable.
What’s New in 26.0 “Anh-Linh”
This release runs on Linux 6.18 LTS and updates the three flagship editions to Xfce 4.20, KDE Plasma 6.5, and GNOME 49. Both the Plasma and GNOME editions default to Wayland now, a change worth knowing about before upgrading if specific X11-only workflows matter to you. Manjaro 26.0 is also notably the first release to offer the first stable release of the COSMIC desktop environment as an option, alongside Firefox 146 and LibreOffice 25.8.4.
Editions
Xfce remains Manjaro’s flagship, recommended edition, generally the most tested and polished of the officially supported desktops. KDE Plasma and GNOME editions receive equally full support, and community editions exist for several other desktop environments.
