    Mabox Linux Update: Firefox 135, New Kernel, and More Features

    Hailing from Poland, Mabox Linux has returned with its version 25.02. The size of the ISO file is now 2.7 GB. The list of changes isn’t very extensive, but it does include the newly released Firefox 135, a fresh kernel, and several updated packages like the Nvidia driver and Xorg server.

    Update Based on Manjaro

    This latest update for Mabox Linux is built on the stable release of Manjaro from yesterday. You can find all the specifics regarding the Manjaro base of Mabox 25.02 on their site. It’s important to note that some applications available in Manjaro are not included in Mabox. For instance, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, and Steam are among those missing. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the stable version of Manjaro only includes Firefox 134.0.2.

    Package Versions Included

    Now, regarding Mabox 25.02, the list of updated packages along with their version numbers includes dhcp 4.4.3, e2fsprogs 1.47.2, gtk 4.16.12, the 6.6.65 kernel, version 550.144.03 of the Nvidia driver, perl 5.40.1, Python 3.13.1, samba 4.21.3, systemd 257.2, and xorg-server 21.1.15. As always, you can download the ISO file from SourceForge. For those unfamiliar with this distribution, it’s important to note that support for 32-bit systems has not been available for some time. Fortunately, there are still a number of distributions that continue to support older 32-bit machines, like Debian, Alpine, or antiX.

    Originally derived from the fast Blackbox window manager from the early 2000s, Openbox has undergone a complete rewrite and is now a cohesive piece of software. This straightforward and versatile window manager is included in Mabox Linux, a stable distribution based on Manjaro. Mabox Linux also features the tint2 panel/taskbar and the Jgmenu, an X11-inspired menu designed for scripting, customization, and tweaking. Recently, Mabox Linux updated its version to 24.09.

    Release Information

    Currently, there is no official release announcement available. However, the SourceForge repository has a text file that lists the packages included and their respective version numbers. The ISO file for this version is 2.5 GB in size, and the updated package highlights, compared to version 24.08 released on August 22nd, include several key applications.

    Preinstalled Applications

    Along with Firefox, Mabox Linux comes preinstalled with the Geany text editor/IDE, the PCManFM file manager, and the FSearch search utility. Additionally, it includes the Terminator terminal emulator. However, there is no default email reader provided, so users who wish to have one will need to select and install their preferred option.
