All not shown, but none above 66 are recomended.
Because recommended are long-term support “LTS” releases.
6.12 is LTS I thought. Sounds interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj65eDbdBzs
Yes, it is, but it will only be marked as such by Manjaro itself when there is an update to the Manjaro Settings Manager.

So it is safe to install? I still feel like waiting untill it goes LTS. Tht vid, does make it sound like it has lots of good stuff in it though.
What difference would that make? It has already been designated LTS by upstream, along with a projected EOL — which means that they might extend its LTS support if there should be a need — in December 2026.

No problems on my system
[2024-12-06T17:03:29+0000] [ALPM] installed linux612 (6.12.1-4)
I installed 6.12 earlier than usual because it has RT_PREEMPT support
phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.12-features
Linux 6.12 is expected to be this year’s Long Term Support (LTS) kernel version
Real-time PREEMPT_RT support was finally mainlined! Two decades in the making
Pacman said there was no update today, hmmm.
It does sound good though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj65eDbdBzs
