Manjaro Linux 26.1.2 "Bian-May" has been released, featuring GNOME 50 "Tokyo" and Linux Kernel 7.1. This update includes significant upgrades such as parental controls and hardware-accelerated remote desktop features in GNOME, as well as enhancements like instant mode switching in KDE Plasma 6.7. Users can upgrade from the Stable branch using sudo pacman -Syu, and minimal ISOs with LTS kernels are available for older hardware. Additionally, NVIDIA's newer proprietary drivers have dropped support for Pascal-era graphics cards, requiring users of GTX 10-series and older to switch to legacy driver packages

Manjaro Linux 26.1.2 Bian-May Drops With GNOME 50 and Kernel 7.1

Manjaro Linux 26.1.2 "Bian-May" landed today, closing out its initial release cycle with a comprehensive software refresh. The GNOME edition finally ships GNOME 50 "Tokyo," the KDE build includes Plasma 6.7, and the mainline ISO defaults to Linux Kernel 7.1 with fully rewritten NTFS write support. Existing Stable branch users can upgrade instantly with sudo pacman -Syu, while those on older hardware can grab minimal ISOs preloaded with the 6.12 or 6.18 LTS kernels. NVIDIA's newer proprietary drivers have officially dropped Pascal-era support, so GTX 10-series and older owners must migrate to the legacy 580xx packages before they vanish from the repository.
