All iso’s in this release include:

  1. The 6.12.44 LTS kernel.
  2. The New KoraSpin-Rose10 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. It is part of the KoraSpin-925 package
  3. The new SpinThemeDarRose10 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package.
  4. The new Usplash-925 desktop wallpapers. One of them is the background for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds. The wallapaer used was created by me.
  5. The Rose10 Cinnamon theme in the panel iso included a faded panel and menu.
  6. The iso’s are up to date as of 9/14/2025.
  7. An optional Firefox theme, SbK Dark Rose10, 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.

  1. The latest LTS kernel.
  2. A 100% Manjaro stable install.
  3. 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.
  4. It is multiarch by default to make running wine games and other 32bit software you may run easier.
  5. The Spins by Kilz signed repository is enabled for SbK project packages.
  6. A signed iso. For information on checking signed iso’s visit Check ISO
  7. Bloatware has been removed (HP printer software and others).
  8. Flat packs and snaps are not installed. The back ends are also not installed but can be installed by the user.
  9. 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.
  10. Timeshift autosnap installed. It takes a snapshot before upgrading so any bad upgrades can be easily reversed.
  11. 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.

Thanks for sharing this! Great to see an updated SBK spin — Manjaro with Cinnamon feels like a solid daily driver. Curious: how’s the resource usage compared to the official XFCE or GNOME editions?

Thanks, new releases now come out on the 15th for Manjaro, give or take a day. I am not sure of the ram usage compared to Manjaro Gnome or Xfce since I havent used either in quite some time. The good thing is that all the spins have a conky with ram usage so you know what you are using with a quick glance.
Cinnamon has always been one of my favs. I ran Mint for a few years in the past. But now days its LXQt on Manjaro because I have older hardware.
