The EndeavourOS team announced today the general availability for download of EndeavourOS Ganymede Neo as the latest stable snapshot of this Arch Linux-based distro featuring the KDE Plasma desktop environment.

Powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.18 LTS kernel series, EndeavourOS Ganymede Neo is a small update to the EndeavourOS Ganymede release, published back in November 2025, featuring the KDE Plasma 6.5.4 desktop environment, which is accompanied by KDE Frameworks 6.22 and KDE Gear 25.12.1.

Under the hood, this release comes with updated components, such as the Mesa 25.3.3 graphics stack, NVIDIA 590.48.01 graphics driver, Calamares 26.01.1.5 graphical installer for a smoother installation experience, Mozilla Firefox 146 web browser, and XOrg Server 21.1.21.

So when I install EOS for the first time, I should use the ISO from when the project was founded?

This comment is silly. The fact that every rolling release I can think of tracks against releases in exactly this way is not.

You have convinced me. Releases are based.
