Manjaro 25.1 Preview Released, but Users Are Urged Not to Update Yet - The TTRPG network

>Manjaro has pushed the first stable-branch update in the upcoming “Anh-Linh” cycle, serving as a preview of the 25.1 release and introducing major changes to the desktop, kernel, and system components. However, the team is issuing a warning to users: do not update yet. > >The reason is that several parts of the update require manual intervention, and in some cases, applying them without preparation may break existing systems (more on this below). > >The release brings major upgrades such as Plasma 6.5.3, GNOME 49.2, (eventually) COSMIC Beta 9, LXQt 2.3, updated NVIDIA drivers, Blender 5.0, LibreOffice 25.8.3, a refreshed Mesa stack, and the first build of the Manjaro Control Panel.

Clickbait title: They’re not urging folks not to Update, they’re urging folks to read the known issues and workarounds page because gnome and plasma are both killing X11 support.
