Immediately after announcing the release of the fourth RC (Release Candidate) build of the Manjaro Linux KDE 15.09 operating system, Philip Müller informed all Manjaro users about the immediate availability for download of Manjaro Linux Xfce 15.09 RC4.
According to the announcement, which was posted on the last hours of September 20, 2015, the fourth Release Candidate version of Manjaro Linux Xfce 15.09 is powered by the latest LTS (Long-Term Support) release of the Linux kernel, version 4.1, and built around the lightweight Xfce 4.12 open-source desktop environment.
Additionally, the Calamares installer has been added as an alternative to the existing Thus graphical installer and the built-in command-line installer. The Menda theme got a major update, based on the gorgeous Vertex theme created by horst3180, customized with the Breeze-based cursor theme and the Numix-based icons.
“We decided to do another release candidate for Manjaro 15.09,” says Philip Müller. “With this release we have focused our efforts, bringing more attention to the common core requirements of Manjaro’s broad user-base. […] We mainly focused on polishing the user experience on the desktop and window manager, and on updating some components to take advantage of newly available technologies.”
There’s now support for the Linux 4.3 kernel branch
Manjaro Linux Xfce 15.09 Release Candidate 4 updates numerous in-house built tools, including the Manjaro Settings Manager utility, which received support for the Linux 4.3 kernel branch, updates the Pamac graphical package manager to version 2.4.1, and implements two launcher choices for the Steam for Linux client.
