All iso’s in this release include:

  1. The 6.1.38 LTS kernel.

  3. The new SpinThemeDarkGreen13 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package.
  4. The new Usplash-23.0.0.1 desktop wallpapers. One of them is the background for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds.
  5. The Green13 Cinnamon theme in the panel iso included a faded panel and menu.
  6. The iso’s are up to date as of 7/23/2023.
  7. An optional Firefox theme, SbK Dark Green13, that matches the color scheme is available at 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 Manjaro stable install that is also AUR compatible with a lot of packages used to build packages installed…
  3. It is multiarch by default to make running wine games and other 32bit software you may run easier.
  4. The Spins by Kilz signed repository is enabled for SbK project packages.
  5. A signed iso. For information on checking signed iso’s visit Check ISO
  6. Bloatware has been removed (HP printer software and others).
  7. Flat packs and snaps are not installed. The back ends are also not installed but can be installed by the user.
  8. 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.
  9. Timeshift autosnap installed. It takes a snapshot before upgrading so any bad upgrades can be easily reversed.
  10. 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.

This looks like the end of the 23.0.0.1 series. Pantheon is fubared. I have spent days trying to get a working desktop where at least most applications launch without a minute delay. But nothing seems to fix the issues. So I wont be releasing Pantheon this series. Sadly I tried creating an unstable iso with updated packages, and it had similar issues.
