I am happy to announce the release of SbK Xfce-Compiz 20.1.1
This release has:
- Compiz 9 with the rotating cube for virtual desktops, faded windows in the background, wobbly windows, and other effects.
- The 5.4.67 LTS kernel.
- A dock with transparent background and auto hide.
- A new GTK and matching Kvantum theme (KvSpinDarkGrey2).
- A new icon theme Mint-X-Grey2 and matching dark theme with lighter controls.
- 7 new blue backgrounds in the Usplash2 Abstract folder. The older Usplash package can be installed from the SbK repository with an additional 230 backgrounds.
- One of the new wallpapers is the grub, display manager and desktop wallpaperand they all use the same themes.
- Lots and lots of package updates since the 20.0.3 release. Packages are up to date as of 10/15/2020.
It also contains the standard SbK features.
- A Manjaro stable install that is also AUR compatible.
- 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.
- 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.
- The latest long term support kernel
A full and very minimal iso can be found here.
As always comments, suggestions, and questions are welcome. Just leave a post below.
