I am very happy to announce the release of SbK Budgie 25.0.0.
The SpinsbyKilz.com watermark is not present in the installed OS.
All iso’s in this release include:
- The 6.6.74 LTS kernel.
- The New KoraSpin-icolor icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. It is part of the KoraSpin-25.0.0 package that includes all colors in the series.
- The new SpinThemeBlue21 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package.
- The new Usplash-25.0.0 desktop wallpapers. One of them is the background for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds.
- A basic Conky with matching color theme.
- The iso’s are up to date as of 2/5/2025…
- An optional Firefox theme, SbK Dark Blue21, that matches the color scheme is available here, Firefox Themes just click on the image in Firefox to install it.
All iso’s also contain the standard SbK features.
- The latest LTS kernel.
- A 100% Manjaro stable install.
- The AUR is available in pamac. Please read the AUR section of the SbK Best Practices page before using the AUR. AUR packages are not supported by Arch or Manjaro.
- It is multiarch by default to make running wine games and other 32bit software you may run easier.
- The Spins by Kilz signed repository is enabled for SbK project packages.
- A signed iso. For information on checking signed iso’s visit Check ISO
- Bloatware has been removed (HP printer software and others).
- Flat packs and snaps are not installed. The back ends are also not installed but can be installed by the user.
- All SbK iso’s contain Manjaro Architect script in case you want to do a custom install. To get any SbK packages like themes, icons, and other goodies you will have to add the SbK Repository after install.
- Timeshift autosnap installed. It takes a snapshot before upgrading so any bad upgrades can be easily reversed.
- A basic Conly with matching color theme.
A full and very minimal iso can be found here.
