The following section briefly explains the key highlights of Mauna Linux 24.3.

  • The Mauna Linux 24.3 Xfce provides Advanced Hardware Enablement (AHE) with Kernel 6.9. This will improve the performance of modern systems. However, this is not good for systems with moderate resources.
  • The Program Installer/Application Manager disables unverified Flatpak applications. It brings better multi-threading, a new preferences page, and a banner slideshow. The Application Manager now loads faster, with the main window appearing instantly.
