I could not install this release on my lenovo laptop. It installs successfully with calamares, but stuck on ‘tty1’ with a cursor and black screen. When I switched to ‘tty2’, I can try to login as ‘manjaro’ user, but nothing happens: it gets a black screen only. I can reenter ‘tty2’ with ‘ctrl+alt+F2’ but it is a black screen - login screen loop.
Official release works well.
Has installer for this release been updated to use LUKS2+argon2id for encrypted installs? Previous grub limitation for such a setup was removed with grub 2.14.
I just completed an install on a new laptop using 26.0.2-260206 iso and noticed it still uses LUKS1 with less secure PBKDF. I was able to manually update to LUKS2+argon2id, still using grub from main repos, with no issues.
It’s actually fixed now with manjaro-gnome-settings 20260605-1.
To apply the settings on an existing installation after updating to that version, reset the existing values and update the database:
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folder-children
sudo dconf update

I can confirm that the fix works for an existing installation. Thanks @Yochanan for taking the time to investigate and fix this. It’s small things like this that make Manjaro a great distro.
