Hello everyone,
I would like to ask if there is any information about when Linux Kernel 7.0 will be available on Manjaro.
Additionally, what improvements or benefits can we expect from this version compared to the current one?
Linux 7.0 is already available on the stable branch.

The following command will list the kernels available for installation on your system:
mhwd-kernel -l
To install Linux 7.0:
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux70
To list your installed kernels:
mhwd-kernel -li
Here are some links I posted in the Member Lounge of the forum when linux70 was released:

I feel the order in which you asked those questions is back-to-front. The first question is irrelevant unless you already have the answer to the second and see there is some benefit to your use case.

From what i read, probably the most relevant for a number of users will be the changes in the ntfs driver which is supposed to be 30% faster and the improved memory management which will probably be more noticeable on older systems.
