This is relatively new and may change over time.

But … I leveraged Github CI and manjaro-tools to whip up a few ISOs.

MaCE-KDE:

MaCE-LXQt-KWin:

Somewhat vanilla, and slightly opinionated, they both come in versions of:

  • Manjaro-Stable + LTS-Kernel + Full
  • Manjaro-Unstable + Latest-Kernel + Minimal

Some of the majaor differences from official Manjaro Editions include:

  • Removal of msm-notifier, pamac-tray, plymouth, yakuake
  • Minor cosmetic additions to Plasma
  • zram, systemd-resolved, tlp are configured and enabled
  • pipewire and wireplumber are installed and in use by default
  • bash as default shell
  • manjaro architect would be included but is not currently functional

A quick blurb about the split zips:

I also plan to expand this in the near future to MaCEr, which will specifically target recovery use cases.

Edit. And here it is:

Using SystemRescue as a reference it includes additional tools like:

ext4magic
ddrescue
testdisk
foremost
sleuthkit
fsarchiver
partclone
wipe
lynx
rclone
tcpdump
openbsd-netcat
filezilla
warpinator
krdc
rdesktop
keepassxc
vim
hexedit
udftools
cdrtools
flashrom
arch-wiki-docs
wikiman
chntpw
ophcrack
backuppc
cloud-utils
qemu-img

The largest full image being macer with ~3.5G. All editions should be able to fit on a DVD.

As always, constructive thoughts are welcome.

This is refreshing; in a world where we’re constantly told “Nobody uses DVDs anymore”.

I am sorry for my ignorance, but, where I can look for what exactly changes are made?

Its ok, there isnt exactly a list as some things were done by hand
(see: dropping my own theme files unpackaged, zram config, etc)
For the desktop profile, which you can peruse for those files, as well as the profile configuration in profile.conf and the package lists, most specifically Packages-Desktop would be the package list most modified (with comments that should be intelligible):

[each ISO project page should have a link back to the profile directory in iso-profiles]
