Manjaro 21.0.3 now lets you install Linux 5.12 in all its editions and KDE Gear 21.04 comes to KDE

manjaro 21.0.3

This morning, as soon as I turned on my laptop with Manjaro, I got the notification that there were updates to be installed, I went to Pamac, I saw that there were a lot of packages and I already knew that it would not be long before they opened a thread in the forum from the community to announce the release of a new stable version. What I have installed in the morning and what can already be downloaded is manjaro 21.0.3, Ornara's third knit update.

Probably for many it is not the most exciting release in the world, or at least I think it will be so for users of the GNOME edition. And it is that the team of developers of this distribution based on Arch Linux wants make sure everything is fine before uploading the GNOME 40 shell to your repositories. At the moment we will continue with the 3.38 desktop + 40 applications combo, that is, GNOME 3.38 in the Shell and GNOME 40 apps.

Highlights of Manjaro 21.0.3

  • They don't mention it in his thread, but it is already available Linux 5.12 from the Manjaro manager.
  • Improvements in GNOME Shell, such as that it can carry multiple monitors with different refresh rates or that screen recording has been improved by taking advantage of PipeWire and the kernel APIs to reduce resource consumption and improve response.
  • The KDE edition has received KDE Gear 21.04, that is, the April applications of the project.
  • Improvements in the Calamares installer, such as that it can now better guess languages ​​based on zone if GeoIP is enabled.
  • The grub theme has been restored.
  • Fixes in Pamac.

The images of Manjaro 21.0.3 can be downloaded from this link, and this is a good time to remember that the official editions are in Xfce, KDE, and GNOME. Existing users have all the news available from noon in Spanish peninsular time.
