I am pleased to announce the release of SbK Mate-Compiz 21.0.5. This one may be the best of the series to date.
Both full and minimal versions of this release include
- The latest LTS kernel, 5.10.41.
- A new KvSpinDarkAqua3 dual Kvantum and GTK theme.
- Themeing for Grub, login screen and desktop all have the same background and colors.
- 4 new backgrounds, one of which is the Desktop, grub, and login screen background.
- A basic Conky setup to display system information on the desktop.
- There have been a ton of package updates since the 20.1.1 release. The release is up to date as of 6/13/21.
- The new MintSpin-Y-Aqua icon set.
They also contain the standard SbK features.
- A Manjaro stable install that is also AUR compatible.
- 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.
- Timeshift autosnap installed. It takes a snapshot before upgrading so any bad upgrades can be easily reversed.
- 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. Sadly to get any SbK packages like themes, icons, and other goodies you will have to add the SbK Repository after install. http://spins.tuxfamily.org/repo.html
A full and minimal iso can be found here.
