  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Mabox Linux es una distribución de Linux de origen polaco, basada en la rama estable de Manjaro y con modelo de desarrollo rolling release (actualizaciones continuas). Su característica principal es el uso del gestor de ventanas Openbox, lo que la convierte en un sistema ligero, rápido y altamente personalizable, ideal para hardware antiguo o usuarios que buscan eficiencia.

La distribución se inspira en CrunchBang Linux y utiliza herramientas propias como el Mabox Control Center para la configuración del sistema, tint2 como panel, jgmenu para menús y conky para la monitorización en el escritorio. Está disponible para sistemas de 64 bits y ofrece una experiencia minimalista que consume aproximadamente 300 MB de RAM al inicio.

Base: Manjaro (rama estable), derivada de Arch Linux.
Gestor de ventanas: Openbox.
Gestión de paquetes: pacman y Pamac (con soporte para AUR vía yay).
Estado: Estable, con la última versión estable 25.04 lanzada en abril de 2025.

Desventajas, No es para el Usuario que apenas llegan a linux,
No tiene suite ofimatica pre instalada.

Pero Todo lo demas es simplemente genial, Funciona muy, muy bien.

 Fun, Full of surprised, Easy on the eyes and dripping with character. Well featured, and opinionated in a fun way. Solid little arch distro. Running on 13 year old mid-range laptop hardware: snappy enough to use as a daily. Plays nice with the software I care about.

I Love the integrated internet radio, and random music which came pre-selected: again opinionated and very fun. The automatic themeing works very well: pulling colors from your wallpaper and applying them systemwide are a breeze. Favorite in a while

 Essa distro baseada no manjaro é fantástica, já uso tem 4 anos e não tive problemas, tudo indo perfeitamente. Fiz algumas modificações, alterei temas e ele ficou bem estável. Tem qualidades este sistema, os drivers de som funcionando super bem e vídeo também. Porém não recomento para usuários que estão vindo do Windows, pois vai encontrar dificuldades no manejo, mas recomendo para usuários avançados. Ela é cheia de surpresas, bem estável com placas de vídeo amd e nvídia, não decepcionou. A navegação é rápida e você consegue dividir as janelas para dinamizar seus trabalho. Eu aprovo!
