The Manjaro-based Mabox Linux is back with update 25.02, which includes the barely released Firefox 135 and various package updates. The Linux kernel used is now 6.6.65, up from the 6.6.47 release, which was present in the 24.12 Mabox update. The Nvidia driver also got updated, as well as Samba, GTK, and a few others.

Hailing from Poland, Mabox Linux is back with version 25.02. The ISO file is now 2.7 GB in size, and the list of changes is not very long, but it includes the barely released Firefox 135, a new kernel, as well as various updated packages, such as the Nvidia driver and Xorg server.

The aforementioned Mabox Linux update is based on yesterday's Manjaro stable release. All the details concerning the Manjaro base of Mabox 25.02 can be found on this page. Obviously, some packages present in Manjaro are not included in Mabox. The list of such apps includes Thunderbird, LibreOffice, or Steam. It should also be highlighted that Manjaro stable only sports Firefox 134.0.2.

Back to Mabox 25.02, the list of updated packages and their current version numbers includes dhcp 4.4.3, e2fsprogs 1.47.2, gtk 4.16.12, the 6.6.65 kernel, version 550.144.03 of the Nvidia driver, perl 5.40.1, Python 3.13.1, samba 4.21.3, systemd 257.2, and xorg-server 21.1.15. The ISO file can be retrieved from SourceForge, as usual, and those new to this distro should know that 32-bit support hasn't been available for a while. Thankfully, there are still several distros with support for old 32-bit machines, such as Debian, Alpine, or antiX.
