Manjaro Linux 24.0 “Wynsdey” Officially Released with Linux Kernel 6.9
Dubbed “Wynsdey”, Manjaro Linux 24.0 appears to be the first GNU/Linux distribution powered by Linux kernel 6.9, which was released over the weekend. I don’t know how the Manjaro Linux team pulled this off, but good for them, showing the rest of the distro maintainers how to do it.
While Manjaro Linux 24.0’s flagship edition ships with the Xfce desktop environment, the other two official flavors, featuring the KDE Plasma and GNOME desktops, have been updated to the latest KDE Plasma 6 and GNOME 46 releases.

Manjaro is a user-friendly Linux distribution built on the Arch operating system, which is known for its simplicity and customization. Unlike Arch, which requires manual setup, Manjaro provides an easier installation process and pre-configured settings, making it accessible for beginners and experienced users alike. It combines the power and flexibility of Arch with a focus on ease of use.
Manjaro Linux is fast and efficient, booting faster, running smoother, and using fewer resources than Ubuntu. Its rolling release model ensures you always have the latest updates without reinstalling. Manjaro Linux provides access to the AUR, a collection of community-maintained packages not found in the official repositories. With thousands of packages available, one can easily install software with a simple command, making it a valuable resource.
