The official website is like the front door for every Linux distribution. It’s often the first thing new users see when downloading the distro’s installation ISO.
This first impression can make a big difference, showing either a professional or amateurish look. In this regard, Manjaro has chosen to improve what they already have.
Today, the distro has launched a completely revamped version of its flagship website, manjaro.org, introducing a sleeker, more professional interface.
The updated site features a minimalist top navigation bar that removes the clutter of dropdown menus and focuses on essential elements. This change aims to enhance user navigation by concentrating on the most relevant information, with additional resources accessible via the footer.
Manjaro has also restructured the presentation of its offerings to align with its expansion in commercial services.
The company, which assists businesses and public institutions in integrating Manjaro Linux into their IT infrastructures, has made it easier for users to access information on enterprise services directly through the main navigation.
Furthermore, the site has scaled back on promotional content, such as merchandise links, opting for a cleaner look that aligns with its business-oriented approach. Discussions about reintroducing Manjaro-branded merchandise are ongoing, but any future offerings will likely be less prominent on the site.
Technologically, manjaro.org has transitioned from Wagtail, a Django-based content management system, to a static architecture using Nuxt, a powerful JavaScript and Vue.js framework.
According to devs, this move simplifies the backend and makes the site easier to maintain. All updates and content changes are managed through a single GitHub repository, with automatic deployments facilitated by Cloudflare Pages’ free hosting service.
Why wait? Check out the website or visit the announcement for more information. We really love the fresh new look of this amazing Arch-based Linux distro, and we think you will, too.
