After nearly six months since the last Manjaro Linux ISO release, Manjaro 21.3 is out as another update to the Arch Linux-based distribution that tries to focus on user-friendliness and accessibility, while making installing Arch Linux a breeze.

Released in December 2021, Manjaro 21.2 “Qonos” brought the latest LTS (Long-Term Support) kernel series, namely Linux 5.15, as well as the latest (at the time of the release) KDE Plasma 5.23 and GNOME 41.2 desktop environments.

Codenamed “Ruah”, Manjaro 21.3 ships with the same Linux 5.15 LTS kernel series, alongside the older Linux 5.10 and 5.4 LTS kernels for older hardware, as it looks like the Manjaro Linux devs decided to stick to LTS kernels for new releases and not adopt the latest and greatest kernel branch, Linux 5.18, which is already the default kernel upstream in Arch Linux’s repositories.
