"Manjaro Makes Desktop Linux Look GOOD!"

  • Manjaro Makes Desktop Linux Look GOOD! - Invidious

    Just a few hours ago, Manjaro released a new version (21.3). Manjaro has three main editions: (1) Xfce, (2) KDE Plasma, and (3) GNOME. I almost always look at the Xfce and Plasma editions of Manjaro, so I thought I would switch things up and look at their latest GNOME edition...

Manjaro 21.3.0 'Ruah' Release Adds Latest Calmares 3.2, GNOME 42

  • Manjaro 21.3.0 'Ruah' Release Adds Latest Calmares 3.2, GNOME 42, and More Upgrades - It's FOSS News

    Manjaro Linux is a rolling-release distribution. So, technically, you will be on the latest version if you regularly update your system.

    It should not be a big deal to upgrade to Manjaro 21.3.0, considering I am already running it without issues for a few days before the official announcement.

    Also, you might want to read my initial experience switching to Manjaro from Ubuntu (if you’re still on the fence).

Not the latest Calamares

Nope, it's not the latest Calamares. It ships with 3.2.59 and the latest is 3.2.60 https://github.com/calamares/calamares/releases/tag/v3.2.60.

Well spotted

Well spotted, thanks!

Manjaro 21.3 Linux Lands With Enhanced Desktops

  • Manjaro 21.3 Linux Lands With Enhanced Desktops

    Manjaro has announced the latest version of its namesake Arch Linux-based distribution, version 21.3, codenamed "Ruah." The new version features several major enhancements, including new versions of all the supported desktop environments.

    [...]

    While Manjaro 21.3 rolls out new desktops, it uses the LTS, or Long-Term Support, version of the Linux kernel, according to 9to5Linux, in contrast to the upstream Arch distribution, which uses the latest kernel by default. This appears to be part of Manjaro's attempt at a user-friendly version of Arch. This kernel should be more stable than the newer kernel.

Manjaro 21.3.0 Is Now Available

  • Manjaro 21.3.0 Is Now Available

    Manjaro “Ruah” has been released and includes the latest Calamares installer, GNOME 42, and much more.

    Manjaro is an Arch-based, rolling-release Linux distribution aimed at users who want the power and flexibility of Arch, without complications. The latest release, version 21.3.0, includes plenty of newness, in the form of the Calamares installer (which now supports LUKS partitions), GNOME 42 (which includes Libadwaita), KDE Plasma 5.24 (which includes the new Overview), XFCE 4.16 (which now supports fractional scaling), and Linux kernel 5.15 LTS.

    The GNOME edition of Manjaro 21.30 includes both GTK 4 and Libadwaita, which offers improved performance, a modern UI style, and plenty of new user interface elements. The Plasma edition makes it possible to more easily move panels around and stick them to any edge you like. The XFCE edition received quite a number of updates, especially in the area of compositing and GLX.

21.3 of Arch Linux derivative Manjaro released

  • 21.3 of Arch Linux derivative Manjaro released • The Register

    Version 21.3 of Manjaro - codenamed "Ruah" - is here, with kernel 5.15, but don't let its beginner-friendly billing fool you: you will need a clue with this one.

    Manjaro Linux is one of the more popular Arch Linux derivatives, and the new version 21.3 is the latest update to version 21, released in 2021. There are three official variants, with GNOME 42.2, KDE 5.24.5 or Xfce 4.16 desktops, plus community builds with Budgie, Cinnamon, MATE, a choice of tiling window managers (i3 or Sway), plus a Docker image.

    The Reg took its latest look at Arch Linux a few months ago. Arch is one of the older rolling-release distros, and it's also famously rather minimal. The installation process isn't trivial: it's driven from the command line, and the user does a lot of the hard work, manually partitioning disks and so on.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
