Manjaro ISOs have used LTS kernels only for ISOs released in the last 2 years
Manjaro 21.0.2 Ornara released!
Most new users will have kernel v6.1 that has a projected EOL Dec, 2026
Active kernel releases | kernel.org
So new users do not have to worry about an EOL unsupported kernel for the next 2-3 years
Plenty of time to become familiar with wiki documentation: Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro Wiki
and forum Update announcements
But many users will probably install a later LTS kernel before current LTS kernels reach end of life
I also see a lot of distro-hoppers say things like “Anytime I tried Manjaro it ‘breaks’ after a couple months.” Which I assume is mostly the same issue.
This was a common comment on u/manjaro from some disgruntled users that left manjaro forum community in last 2-3 years. The gripes are likely to become less frequent now that the snorlax collective has given up trolling to promote another endeavour (their SSL certificate expired in July )
Didn’t bother reading forum guidelines to realise that later comment criticising another forum user is not acceptable behaviour
Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:
- Name-calling
- Ad hominem attacks
- Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
- Knee-jerk contradiction
Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
