Is there a newer ISO than 25.1-pre2?

Hi all,

I downloaded the pre2 ISO of 25.1

manjaro-kde-25.1-pre2-251215-linux618.iso

There is a newer ISO released?

If yes, where can I download from?

Take a look in the [Stable Update] 2025-12-22 - Kernels, Cinnamon, KDE Frameworks, Pacman

More changes to mhwd and nvidia-driver-assistant:

Anh-Linh 26.0-rc4 (2026-01-02)

Greetings

Tony

You don’t need to download and install a new ISO to have the latest version of Manjaro. Just update your existing installation.

Yes, I know.

The ISO is for creating new virtual machines.

It is faster to install an ISO that don’t need a massive update just after the installation.

BTW approximately every three years I feel better to wipe out my machine and have a clean configuration

You’d only have to do the downloading of updates once - for all the virtual machines.
Create a separate virtual disk and mount it to /var/cache/pacman/pkg in each of the VMs.
I do this locally with four Manjaro VM’s (Xfce4, Plasma, Gnome, Cinnamon) to avoid having to download all the updates separately for each VM.

Good idea

I’ll use this method next time
