New in Manjaro GNOME!

When choosing an accent color in Settings, the folder colors will now change automatically to match when using the Papirus Dark or Papirus Light icon theme.

To try it out, install gnome-shell-extension-papirus-folders-colorizer from Add/Remove Software, logout / login and enable Papirus Folder Colorizer from Extensions.

Or, if you prefer the command line:

Install:

sudo pacman -Syu gnome-shell-extension-papirus-folders-colorizer

Enable the extension:

 gnome-extensions enable papirus-folders-colorizer@NiffirgkcaJ.github.com

Logout:

gnome-session-quit --logout

Also, when applying accent colors from Layout Switcher settings, it will also set the matching folder color. Requires accent-color-change r172.c761c84-2 or newer.

KDE Plasma users with SDDM can now migrate to Plasma Login Manager

After ensuring plasma-login-manager 6.5.90-1 (or newer) is installed, run the following:

sudo pacman -Syu plasma-login-manager
systemctl disable sddm
systemctl enable plasmalogin
sudo pacman -R sddm-kcm sddm
NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to a legacy driver to maintain support:

  • Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xx, or related DKMS packages.
  • Manjaro 26.0 Anh-Linh released
  • Manjaro Summit public Alpha now available
  • As of Linux 5.4.302, the 5.4 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 5.10 LTS (Long Term Support) or 5.15 LTS.
  • As of Linux 6.16.12, the 6.16 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.18 LTS (Long Term Support) and/or 6.12 LTS.
  • As of Linux 6.17.13, the 6.17 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.18 LTS (Long Term Support) and/or 6.12 LTS.

Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.13/ :

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13/
