Manjaro Summit public Alpha now available
- Manjaro Immutable is now known as Manjaro Summit, released in public Alpha, featuring an atomic update system and near identical system configurations for easier issue reproduction.
- The system is semi-immutable with a read-only root partition, allowing easy rollbacks to previous versions in case of bad updates.
- Manjaro Summit is aimed to be a stable rolling workstation distro or an always evolving distro based on user feedback.
- The release requires UEFI, minimum 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, and network during installation, with recommended drivers upstreamed in the kernel.
- Features include package layering support, system rollback on failed updates, and improved back-end functionality.
- Missing features include a welcome app, GPG image signing, automatic background updates, and limited desktop environment support.
- Manjaro Summit Alpha promises weekly updates, tweaks based on community feedback, and stability for daily usage by Linux-savvy users.
- Users can utilize Arkdep commands for image deployment, package layering, and system management, along with Distrobox for installing apps to containers.
- The Alpha phase may last a while as further changes and stability testing are needed, with comparative efficiency to other immutable/atomic distros like Silverblue and SUSE MicroOS.
