Almost a month after earlier version, a period that falls within normality, today we have available manjaro 2022-05-13. Among the novelties, it stands out that there are new point updates of the two most used desktops: GNOME 42.1 and Plasma 5.24.5. In the first case, it is the first maintenance update, so the first bugs have been corrected; in the second case we are facing the fifth, but not the last, since Plasma 5.24.5 is an LTS version.
But it's not just these two popular desktops that have been updated. In the list of new features we also see LXQt 1.1.0, although this time we don't see anything from Xfce or other desktops that are gaining popularity like Cutefish. The full list of changes that they have provided us (of course there are more) is the following.
