The Manjaro community, through Ringo de Kroon, has had the pleasure of announcing earlier today, October 7, the immediate availability for download of the Manjaro Linux Cinnamon 15.09 Community Edition operating system.

Manjaro Linux Cinnamon 15.09 comes right after the release of the Manjaro Linux i3 15.09, Manjaro Linux LXDE 15.09, Manjaro Linux LXQt 15.09, and Manjaro Linux GNOME 15.09 community editions, introducing you to one of the most tweaked, optimized, and advanced Cinnamon desktop environments, the latest software packages, a solid Manjaro Linux 15.09 (Bellatrix) base, all on top of the powerful Arch Linux operating system.

Powered by the latest long-term supported Linux 4.1 kernel, the Manjaro Linux Cinnamon 15.09 Community Edition distribution comes with the LibreOffice 5.0 office suite, an updated Maia theme that looks simply gorgeous, a new Plymouth boot splash screen designed for the 15.09 (Bellatrix) release of Manjaro Linux, and, of course, the latest version of the in-house built Manjaro tools.

"The Manjaro community is proud to present a new Manjaro Cinnamon Edition installation media," says Ringo de Kroon, maintainer of Manjaro Linux Cinnamon. "As usual, this release comes with our advanced graphical installers Thus and Calamares, as well as our CLI-installer. Default kernel is linux41. Stable branch was used to create these install medias. Please give us feedback and report any issues with this release."

The Calamares and Thus graphical installers are now included

Manjaro Linux Cinnamon 15.09 Community Edition includes the latest versions of the Calamares and Thus graphical installers, along with an updated version of the CLI (Comman-Line Interface) installer. As expected, the distribution has been syncronized with the upstream Arch Linux repositories, which means that it includes the latest security patches and bugfixes.

The entire look of the distribution has been changed in the 15.09 release, as the development team wanted to take a new visual approach to things within the Cinnamon desktop environment. As such, the LightDM (login manager) background has been changed, there are new wallpapers and icon themes, and Cinnamon has been updated to the latest 2.6 series.
