Manjaro Linux Cinnamon 0.8.12 is the second Community Edition of Manjaro that gets a new stable release after the announcement of the Arch Linux-based Manjaro Linux 0.8.12, a point release that introduced out-of-the-box support for Microsoft’s exFAT file system, as well as the Pacman 4.2 package manager.

There’s no official announcement for Manjaro Linux Cinnamon 0.8.12, which is available for download only for 64-bit PCs, but we took it for a spin and decided to create an in-depth tour (click the image above to see it).

We have to admit that we were very impressed with the looks of the distribution. As you might know, besides our Ubuntu systems, we are also using Arch Linux machines with a Cinnamon setup to bring you the latest Linux news, so seeing Manjaro Linux Cinnamon’s layout made us want change ours immediately. It combines the icons and theme of the Ubuntu operating system with the default Cinnamon theme.
