The TROMjaro project has announced the availability of the latest update of TROMjaro, a Manjaro-based Linux distribution with a customised Xfce desktop. Version 2026.05.08 updates the Linux kernel to the latest long-term supported version (6.18.26) which fixes the Copy Fail kernel vulnerability. It also ships with a new video player. "TROMjaro 2026.05.08. The usual Manjaro 'Stable' updates, that also fix for that nasty Linux security issue. And a few changes. Linux kernel 6.18 - we moved to the new LTS kernel. If you want to do that open the Kernel app on your sytem and install it. Reboot the system. You can press Shift multiple times while rebooting to access the GRUB menu and from there select Advanced boot options and make sure you are running the 6.18 one. New default video player - we are using the Clapper video player now. Simply because it does a much better job at playing any video. It is simple and yet powerful. I recommend installing the clapper-enhancers package too. You can also play YouTube videos or videos from other sources. Overall it is a much better player than the previous one, Celluloid. And that's all. We keep it stable and working." Here is the brief release announcement as published on the distribution's user forum. Download: TROMjaro 2026.05.08.iso (5,425MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

TROMjaro, a Manjaro-based Linux distribution with a customised Xfce desktop, has been updated to version 2026.01.13. The new release returns to Unity-style layout (a layout introduced by Ubuntu's now abandoned Unity desktop) for Xfce. This forum post by the project's lead developer explains the reason: "2026 brings something new but also old to TROMjaro - the Unity layout style is back because we managed to fix an annoying thing with it. Let me explain. When I first discovered Linux I fell in love with Ubuntu's Unity. A desktop that had the apps icons on the left bar, then a thinner top bar with useful info and tray icons. If you maximized an app, the app's menu and window buttons were part of the top main bar, and this maximized the space for any maximized app. On top of this (pun intended) you could search through an app's menu to quickly access its settings and options. Again made so much sense. I can quickly search through huge menus for whatever I quickly needed. Lastly, Unity had all sorts of smart searches in their main app search, like you could search online, inside the folders, etc. It made so much sense that they decided to discontinue it. When I released TROMjaro with Xfce I realized that I can simulate the Unity Layout since Xfce is so damn easy to customize." The new version of TROMjaro is available for download from Archive.org: TROMjaro 2026.01.13.iso (5,543MB, SHA256, torrent, pkglist). |
