Also addressing the Manjaro drama.

TROMjaro 2026.03.26

The usual Manjaro Stable updates. Manjaro Drama. As aside note, we are aware of the drama unfolding inside the Manjaro’s teams. Frankly it proves how trade ruins pretty much everything. Very easy to predict. When you make an Operating System not simply for making an Operating System, but to also sell merch, laptops, or whatever else, then you are entangled with trade and that will make your decisions be tilted towards selling more shit basically. And less focus on the Operating System. Rinse an...

I have downloaded Tromjaro, but I cannot use the keyboard or the touchpad.
Can you point me to some advice to get them working?

The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus a fix to the “speed dial” addon for Firefox that got updated and removed all of our custom bookmarks and added a Google search. This is what you see in TROMjaro when you first open Firefox and when you create a new tab: So it is fixed now. Unfortunately you have to fix it yourself for your current TROMjaro install if you so wish…. You can add the bookmarked websites by importing this file from the addon menu (top right) then tweak the theme. Enjoy! Gr...

Great review of TROMjaro from ZDnet - zdnet.com/article/tromjaro-is-…

Amongst AI written, ad driven content nowadays, it is nice to see some genuine reviews. Super happy with the fact that the author also talks about the trade-free idea a bit and even mentions VideoNeat.

I found a Linux distro that pairs a clean, Mac-like UI with a 'trade-free' philosophy - and it's super fast

This Linux distribution can compete with any lightweight OS on the market.

TROMjaro 2026.01.13 (Unity is back as Default!)

2026 brings something new but also old to TROMjaro: The Unity Layout style is back because we managed to fix an annoying thing with it. Let me explain. When I first discovered Linux I fell in love with Ubuntu’s Unity. A desktop that had the apps icons on the left bar, then a thinner top bar with useful info and tray icons: If you maximized an app, the app’s menu and window buttons were part of the top main bar, and this maximized the space for any maximized app 🙂 . Lovely! On...

TROMjaro 2025.12.10

This ISO boots in UEFI or normal BIOS mode. No more limitations. I put a lot of effort into this ISO since there was a lot to fix in terms of packages conflicts, or dropped packages from Manjaro’s repos, so I had to add some to our own repo. This is mostly to keep our TROMjaro unique in terms of theme synchronization across QT and GTK. I do not know any distro that does it as good as us. Pretty much any application you install on TROMjaro should use the theme you have selected for your install. ...
