14 DAY TRIAL // Manjaro LXDE 0.8.9 RC1, a Linux distribution based on well-tested snapshots of the Arch Linux repositories and 100% compatible with Arch, has been released and is available for testing.
Manjaro has become one of the most successful Arch-based distributions out there, and the LXDE edition is just one of the many supported flavors.
“LXDE is a super-lightweight desktop environment that is very similar to XFCE, with the exception that it is not compatible with Compiz. As with XFCE, LXDE is also a somewhat basic desktop environment, lacking some modern features that would be expected, such as a search-bar to find applications and files.”
“However, it is also an excellent choice for less powerful computers, as a 64 bit installation of Manjaro running LXDE uses only about 150MB of memory,” the developers note.
More details about this release can be found in the official announcement. Download Manjaro LXDE 0.8.9 RC1 right now from Softpedia.
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
