The kernel 5.10 isn’t available to me yet, i can’t download and install it when is it coming to the Manjaro repos?
5.10 is still in the Testing repos even in vanilla Arch, so Manjaro won’t have it yet.

Then something to read to answer your question:
Why isn’t all software always the very latest version?
There are a couple of elements to this question.
Software which has just been released by the upstream project needs time to be packaged and built, so there will always be some time before it becomes available in a packaged format. If a package has patches, then more time will be needed to check whether the patches are still needed and, if so, re-written to apply against the new version. Compiling software from its source code can take a…
It’s always funny to read this type of question !
We should note too that unless you’re running your own custom-built Linux or otherwise compiling the kernel yourself, the Arch family of distros are some of the fastest to have new software available.
Can someone provide a link to documentation on the release and development process for Manjaro?

References to release docs and also info about 5.10:
I’m trying to better understand the Manjaro development and release process. Does anyone have any references to documentation or diagrams?
The reason this comes up is that i want to know when to expect certain updates. For example i’m currently interested in eventually getting the 5.10 kernel. I want to know where it is in the pipeline and would like a place to reference when to expect major updates and changes like this.
The kernel is just out but i wonder why it’s not showing the LTS tag? The kernel 5.10 was supposed to be LTS
Well, well, two complaints in one thread…
Open source solutions : wether you contribute (and do the proper reporting on the source repository) or you pay to sponsor action.
Did you do one or the other ?
