The Manjaro community has announced availability of Manjaro bspwm 16.05, latest stable update of Manjaro community distribution featuring lightweight tiling window manager bspwm. The main motive behind this community distribution is to provide maximum performance with minimum memory and cpu consumption. Manjaro bspwm edition is mainly targeting developers who prefer to have a distraction free environment that support features like program syntax highlighting.
One of the most notable highlight in Manjaro bspwm 16.05 is it's new look and feel. When this distribution was updated with GNOME 3.20 components, most of the existing themes were broken and thus the developers decided to work on Maia theme, which is the default theme used by many other Manjaro community editions. Additionally this release features Breeze icons, soft terminal colors which will also help to reduce eye stress during prolonged computer use.
