I am happy to announce the release of SbK Manjaro Cinnamon 226.
The SpinsbyKilz.com watermark is not in the installed OS.
Cinnamon also has a minimal iso with a panel instead of a dock.
All iso’s in this release include:
- The 6.12.68 LTS kernel.
- The New KoraSpin-Tan11 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. It is part of the KoraSpin-226 package
- The new SpinThemeDarTan13 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package.
- The new Usplash-226 desktop wallpapers. One of them is the background for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds. The wallapaer used was created by me.
- The Tan13 Cinnamon theme in the panel iso included a faded panel and menu.
- The iso’s are up to date as of 2/14/2026.
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 Conky with matching color theme.
A full and very minimal iso’s can be found here.
As always comments, suggestions and questions are welcome.

This concludes the 226 series. I had few issues this time and was able to get it out a day early. I hope everyone likes the releases.
