For fans of the Arch-based Manjaro Linux distribution, the distribution team announced the public alpha release of Manjaro Summit: a new semi-immutable flavor along similar lines to Fedora Silverblue, Nitrux, Aeryn OS, openSUSE Aeon, and others.
Manjaro Summit is a semi-immutable distribution with an atomic update system. Updates are carried out as pre-made disk images. Manjaro Summit makes use of Arkane Linux’s Arkdep immutability tools.
Some elements of Manjaro Summit are yet to be decided such as whether it will evolve into a stable rolling workstation distribution or an always-moving distribution. Right now only the GNOME desktop is supported by Manjaro Summit while KDE Plasma / Xfce / COSMIC are untested yet.
Those wishing to try out Manjaro Summit or learn more about this atomically updated distribution flavor can do so via Manjaro.org.
