Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara”: A Confident Step Forward in Desktop Freedom

Unique Features
Mabox Linux stands out for its speed and performance. It's incredibly fast, even faster than most Linux distributions, thanks to the OpenBox Window Manager, which is very lightweight[1]. This makes Mabox Linux an excellent choice for users who value performance and speed.
In terms of user interface, Mabox Linux offers a unique experience. It features very configurable and hackable menus, dynamic menus, and Sidepanels[2]. It also includes a feature called Mabox Colorizer, which allows you to colorize your Mabox Desktop as you like or let Mabox do it for you automatically from the colors of your currently set wallpaper[2].
Mabox Linux also offers a powerful tool for managing software through a graphical interface, Pamac, which allows you to search packages, their installation, and removal[14].
Installation Tips
Installing Mabox Linux is straightforward. It's a point-and-click affair, and there's even a point during the installation where you can choose between open-source or proprietary video drivers[1]. Mabox Linux is available for 64-bit systems (amd64), and ISO images with two kernel versions are available: linux515 with the latest LTS kernel and linux54, a slightly older LTS kernel that may better support some older hardware[3][7].
To create a bootable USB on Windows, Rufus is recommended. Linux users can use the dd command[3]. After the first boot, you will see the Mabox Welcome screen, where you can perform some basic actions like updating the system, installing an additional kernel, and installing popular applications[11].
System Requirements and Troubleshooting Tips
The recommended system requirements to run Mabox Linux are a 1 GHz or better CPU, 1 GB memory, and 30 GB hard drive space[4]. However, Mabox Linux is very lightweight and can run on systems with as little as 512MB of memory and 6GB of hard drive space[12]. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, you can refer to the detailed Manjaro User Guide, as Mabox Linux is a Manjaro re-spin[3][7].
