A little over two weeks ago, Manjaro, what now it's a whole company, released an update of the operating system that it develops, v18.1.2 to be more exact. Today it has released another stable version, a manjaro 18.1.3 whose images can now be downloaded since official download website. Or to be faithful to the truth, they can be downloaded as soon as they update their website, since the version they launched two weeks ago is still available right now.
But the launch is official, as we can see in the news page of the project. Manjaro 18.1.3 arrives with all the news that they have included in these last two weeks, among which we have many related to the KDE software.

Manjaro Linux is a distribution that uses the type of updates known as Rolling Release, which means that, after a first installation, we will receive updates for life. The new images are only for new installations; existing users should have already received all these updates from the same operating system. The new ISO images will appear soon on your web page at XFCE, KDE and GNOME flavors.
I gave Manjaro a chance and it's wonderful, the GNOME version is beautiful. Thanks for the info linuxadictos. Greetings.
