I am happy to announce the release of SbK Manjaro LXQt 126.
The SpinsbyKilz.com watermark is not present on the installed system.
This is one of the best themes I have done in a bit It looks great on LXQt and will likely replace my current theme soon.
Both iso’s in this release include:
- The 6.12.64 LTS kernel.
- LXQt 2.2.
- The New KoraSpin-Rose8 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. They are part of the KoraSpin-126 package.
- The new SpinThemeDarkRose8 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package was used.
- The new Usplash-126 desktop wallpapers. One of them is the background for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds.
- The iso’s are up to date as of 1/14/2026. Lots of updates since the last release.
Both 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 can be found here.
