Description

Manjaro Linux 25.0.0 Zetar GNOME was released in April 2025 as a 64-bit Linux distribution for desktop users, developers, and enthusiasts seeking an accessible Arch-based operating system. The GNOME edition combines rolling-release software delivery with a polished desktop environment and broad modern hardware support.

This release updates the GNOME edition to the GNOME 48 series, adding notification stacking to organize messages from the same application, dynamic triple buffering for smoother animations, and improved responsiveness during bursts of activity. GNOME 48 also introduces an optional battery charge limit of 80 percent to help extend battery lifespan on supported laptops, alongside initial system-level HDR support for compatible displays and applications. Manjaro Linux 25.0.0 uses Linux kernel 6.12, while Linux 6.6 LTS and Linux 6.1 LTS remain available for older hardware and compatibility requirements. Users can also compare the KDE Plasma edition and Xfce edition.

Manjaro follows a rolling-release model, so this 25.0.0 release has no fixed support end date; it is superseded by later updates and is not an LTS release.
