Env: Manjaro stable repo
AMD CPU/GPU
Hello everyone,
Arch Linux has converted the linux-firmware package into a virtual one and created individual, concrete linux-firmware packages.
News: https://archlinux.org/news/linux-fir…l-intervention/
Packages: https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort…ainer=&flagged=
How does Manjaro handle linux-firmware, or rather, the individual packages now?
Best regards,
Kyrindor
Individual firmware packages were created on Arch 2 days ago (2025-06-21) and have been released to Manjaro Unstable branch
Hi @nikgnomic,
I’ve read the news on the Arch page, and a friend of mine mentioned the transition regarding linux-firmware-* packages.
My main question is concerning the upcoming stable repository update: Are there any actions required from my side, either before or after the update, or will Manjaro manage the linux-firmware-* packages automatically (e.g., as a metapackage or similar)?
For the stable repo path 
See the fix: PKGBUILD · master · Packages / core / linux-firmware · GitLab
Archlinux doesn’t create a meta package: PKGBUILD · main · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / linux-firmware · GitLab
So no, no user intervention is required with Manjaro.
Thank you folks!
