I am happy to announce the release of SbK Cinnamon 425.
The SpinsbyKilz.com watermark is not in the installed OS.
Cinnamon also has a minimal iso with a panel instead of a dock.
As detailed in this post the release date for future spins will be about the 15th of the month. This post details the new version number.
All iso’s in this release include:
- The 6.12.21 LTS kernel.
- The New KoraSpin-Orange8 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. It is part of the KoraSpin-425 package
- The new SpinThemeDarOrange9 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package.
- The new Usplash-425 desktop wallpapers. One of them is the background for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds. The wallapaer used was created by me.
- The Orange9 Cinnamon theme in the panel iso included a faded panel and menu.
- The iso’s are up to date as of 4/13/2025.
- An optional Firefox theme, SbK Dark Orange9, 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’s can be found here.
As always comments, suggestions and questions are welcome.
