Recent News
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.

- Manjaro, like many other open-source projects, relies on the generosity of its community through donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development. These donations are essential in covering the various expenses incurred in the operations of the project such as server costs, software development tools, infrastructure expenses, training, flying people to events or conferences and the salaries of key developers. With the help of these donations, Manjaro is able to secure the necessary financial stability that allows the project to continuously improve and remain active. If you love Manjaro, consider to donate!
- As you might have seen some of our team were able to attend FOSDEM 2023 and the conference proved to be incredibly productive for us. See our blog post for more.

Additional Info
Python 3.14 info
You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.13.so.
Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.13/ :
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13/
Rebuild them all at once:*
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13)
Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs to be rebuilt:
checkrebuild
* It’s recommended to clean your build cache first with pamac clean --build-files
