The first maintenance version of Manjaro Linux 20.2 Nibia has been released.
Manjaro 20.2.1 released
We are happy to announce our latest release of Manjaro we call Nibia. Some might want to shoot for the moon - well, we shoot for the four moons of Nibia.
Nibia is a planet with multiple moons. In the year 2285, during his mission of vengeance against James T. Kirk, Khan Noonien Singh swore that he would chase Kirk around the moons of Nibia and beyond before giving up. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
Gnome edition is the epicenter of new exciting features. It received a major overhaul, possibly the biggest update thusfar. Gnome 3.38 provides performance enhancements, significantly improved application grid, parental controls, excellent welcome tour as well as many other features. The new OEM style installation makes the installation process extremely simple, and Gnome-Initial-Setup lets you easily install Manjaro for other people. Manjaro’s Application-Utility got also many improvements, letting easily choose your favorite browsers, office suites and password managers.
We also included two excellent forms of automatic window tiling: the intuitive Pop-shell and the touch friendly Material-shell. These can be enabled in the Gnome-Layout-Switcher. Keybindings have also been improved to manage virtual desktops more efficiently. Automatic dark mode has gained more granular controls and also let’s you automatically change the theme of qt applications as well. Gnome edition also now comes with boot splash and graphical password dialogs for encrypted systems. We also trimmed the desktop so that it should now use approximately 40% less ram than before. We now also default to using Wayland on non-Nvidia hardware.
