More than a month passed and it seemed to be a little calm around Manjaro Linux. Behind the curtain however we worked hard to get ready for our next stable release we will call Ellada.

Overall changes

Our KDE edition gained Plasma 5.7, Framework 5.24 and Apps 16.04. We struggled much with QT 5.7, which changed the handling of GTK theming, however this we were able to solve more or less. Our Manjaro Settings Manager gained some apperance fixes for low resolutions and updated translations. Within Pamac we fixed some smaller issues, updated drivers, kernels and regular packages.... read more

The Manjaro Community is looking for the perfect way of reflecting the unique identity of this very special Linux Distribution on the net. Recently we have been experimenting with a new forum, the Wiki and blog have been migrated to new servers and right now we are in the process of building a new homepage.
You’re welcome to join in with your suggestions and ideas and with any technical help you may have to offer on the forum or send us an email.

The Manjaro User Guide, provided with our install media to help new users find their way around as quickly and easily as possible, needs to be constantly updated with Manjaro’s latest new features, right now also to cover the brandnew Calamares 2.3 installer. For this we are looking for some helping hands.

Do you have a reasonable understanding of the workings of Manjaro and are you good at explaining your knowledge to others? Would you like to contribute to the Manjaro Community to make this distribution even better? Then don’t hesitate to contact us about everything you still need to know to get started! Or visit the forum thread on this topic.

We are happy to present Daniella to you, our latest stable release of Manjaro Linux.

The Xfce edition remains our flagship offering and has received the attention it deserves. Few can claim to offer such a polished, integrated and leading-edge Xfce experience. We ship Xfce 4.12 with this release of Manjaro. We mainly focused on polishing the user experience on the desktop and window manager, and on updating some components to take advantage of newly available technologies such as switching to a new Vertex-Maia theme, we already using known as Maia for our KDE edition.... read more

While the official Manjaro 16.06 snapshot release is approaching, the maintainers of our Community Editions have been working hard to adjust their ISO-profiles to the latest state of development of our manjaro-tools. They’ve been polishing their desktops, tweaking the themes and experimenting tirelessly together with the community to get the fanciest and most efficient experience possible out of every environment.... read more

The Manjaro community proudly presents a new release of our Bspwm edition.
The Bspwm edition is one of our lightest, aiming to minimize ram and cpu usage, maximizing performance.
It is especially suitable for developers and programmers due to its distraction free enviroment, syntax highlighting and many helpful command line utilities.
It is easily usable with both command line and graphical interface, with keyboard and mouse and is extremely efficient for both system and user.
The most obvious change with this release is the new theming. Gtk3.20 update made many themes temporarily unavailable and we took this opportunity to move to a more uniform look with other manjaro editions. Maia theme, Breeze icons, soft terminal colors and Compton aim to put less strain on the eyes while also providing a clean interface.
The use of mygtkmenu also further improves this editions mouse support that is already unprecedented in the world of tiling window managers.
Compositing and effects have been enabled by default out of the necessity of new bspwm features.
Some more essential changes have happended under the hood however. Bspwm has undergone a major syntax change and this edition features configuration that takes full advantage of the new scripting capabilities provided.
For illustration of some of the features see the video links below.
Another major change is the list of included applications. The Bspwm edition now finally comes with a fully featured browser. Light is a stripped down build of Firefox that uses less RAM and has less dependencies, while still displaying sites correctly and taking advantage of many Firefox plugins. We also included Clonezilla among our many other system rescue tools that make this edition suitable for fixing broken installations, recovering lost files and backing up your system.... read more

We are happy to publish our second release candidate of our upcoming stable release we call Daniella.

Works went into OpenRC, manjaro-tools and our graphical installers. Calamares should now start faster than before and starts now also in Deepin and Gnome. In Thus we fixed some small issues. Pamac got updated to v4.1 and added a progressbar to visualize the current ongoing task better. The Andromeda theme got some new icons and manjaro-tools supports 3rd-party repositories once again. After a little struggle we decided to maintain MATE on our own, since Archlinux has no active maintainer anymore for this destkop environment.... read more

We are happy to announce a maintenance release of the latest Manjaro-Lxqt Community edition

LXQt is one of the lighter desktops (written in QT5 and based on Openbox) for those who seek speed or have older computers with limited resources, but is still very complete.

The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. After a little struggle we decided to maintain MATE on our own, since Archlinux has no active maintainer anymore for this destkop environment.

The headline changes in MATE 1.14 are:... read more

Hi community,

we are proud to announce that Manjaro-ARM 16.05 is finaly finished. Not much has changed on the surface for the end users. However we have spent a great amount of time switching the way things are handled in the backend, so that building and maintaining is both easier and less time consuming on our part.

The most notable change in the back end is a new rootfs built for Manjaro-ARM. Previously, we were creating it manually and it was very time consuming, now with the basestrap script from Manjaro-Tools, we can create the rootfs within a matter of minutes.... read more
