I also think the visual effects are a bit overwhelming and the green might be a little bit too aggressive(or maybe thats just a temporary impression for my tired eyes), but I really really like the new Downlad Page.
Looks easy to understand etc. what I am missing though is a Downlad button on the main page(Maybe just a redirect button to the Downladpage but centered), though I am not sure how much it was tested on newbys. But Downloading Linux is unfortunately most of the times I noticed the first “point of failure”, so this is already a great improvement.
Hi,
@Yochanan @Aragorn @codesardine
Nice, Congratulation a new web site
unfortunately some link don’t work any more, like the branch compare, so practice.
Um, I have nothing to do with any of that. I’m only a moderator, not an administrator or webmaster.
the links should be fixed now.
Nice, thanks for your reactivity, but the branch compare is no more present
I hope on an other place ?
We did not have time to get around branch compare yet, there is a lot going on in the background at the moment, we will get to it eventually.
That is a pity!
Probably not, but is there any way I can give a hand with that? I have more or less experience with Python, databases, HTTP requests and Django (and also HTML, CSS and JS, of course)
At the moment branch compare is a bunch of bash scripts with cron jobs, that I don’t like but it works, so the plan is to move it to a subdomain with a slight redesign for now, until there is time to port that to wagtail, thanks for offering help is always welcome, I will speak with the team and get back to you.
it looks clean and pleasant for the eyes.
Very intuitive design, easy to navigate around. Well done!
How can a user view the datas (userfile-info.json) served from manjaro.org?
Similar to how the json is served here :https://repo.manjaro.org/mirrors.json
Branch compare currently gets a 404, but it will come back in some form, in the near future?
From the end-user perspective, it was a helpful resource that answered Support-type questions without the need to ask on the forum, thus saving Manjaro’s and the user’s time.

I like the clear new look too, but…
- the turquoise on every box on mouse over is quit irritating, especially when it’s not a link.
- the green is differnet to the usual Manjaro-Green. I think you should establish an uniform CI
just my two cents…
Supplement: nonetheless…you guys are doing a great job and i really appreciate the work and effort you guys put into Manjaro.
Some images don’t work for me, not sure if this is a real problem or my adblocker being too agressive. The broken links are below.
Can’t reproduce. Try Ctrl+F5.
Yes, I’ve just this instance taken a peek and it’s top notch
It’s technically great, but I dislike light themed website (white background really?), and unfortunately using dark-mode browser extension is not working, it makes it worst… would take a great amount of work to un-white the website with custom code in dark-mode extension.
No big deal, I’m not going there too often.
Agreed 100%
Excellent and fresh new look!
That’s a pity because it’s invaluable from a support point of view. Especially if oneself isn’t on stable
branch…
I hope that is rather sooner than later. Personally I don’t care about its (re-)design, just about the feature/service that got lost here.
If anyone is interested I made a similar utility to Branch compare that will be available while the official one is being finished: Branch compare for Manjaro
It’s very basic as it is meant to be only a temporary solution, but at least it has the basic functionality.
Just to be clear, this is my own site and it is not affiliated with Manjaro (Just in case ). Any problem or error on the site it’s my fault.
The site is meant to be a Manjaro “fan site” someday, when I have time to do it
