Version 24.1 of the Arch-based Manjaro distribution is now available with the 6.10 Linux kernel, GNOME 46.5, KDE Plasma 6.1 and KDE Gear 24.08:

Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that "remembers" what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress, If you log off and shut down your computer with a dozen open windows, Plasma will now open them for you the next time you power up your desktop, making it faster and easier to get back to what you were doing. At Manjaro we are still defaulting to X11, however switching to Wayland can be done easily by selecting the wanted session in your display manager.

The project also offers minimal install images with the 6.6 LTS and 6.1 LTS kernels to support older hardware as needed.
