How to update Manjaro to latest version?

Support System Updates
1

I have installed Manjaro from iso downloaded a few days ago on a new machine, updated from Pamac, it says “up to date”. System information says Gnome 46,

% cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID="ManjaroLinux"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="24.0.8"
DISTRIB_CODENAME="Wynsdey"
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"

but I know it is not the latest version since on another machine I have Gnome 47 and

DISTRIB_RELEASE="24.1.0pre1"
DISTRIB_CODENAME="Xahea"

Also the kernel versions differ:

new machine has 6.9.12-3 Aug 7
other machine has 6.1.111-1 Sept 18

This question means you should probably do the introductory reading.

You should be able to use your graphical package manager and click the ‘update’ button.

But I prefer pacman … which would look like this:

sudo pacman -Syu

If for whatever reasons you need a mirror sort then that can be run first …

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu

If these refer to kernels … they are separate packages.
It is up to you to install and remove kernels.
6.1 happens to be an LTS (long-term-support)… 6.9 happens to be EOL (end-of-life).

Manjaro also offers multiple branches with different versions of packages.

It would appear one of your systems is using the Testing or Unstable branch.

Yes it is a matter of branches stable or unstable. Thanks.
