Manjaro MATE 0.8.7.1, a Linux distribution based on well-tested snapshots of the Arch Linux repositories and 100% compatible with Arch, has been released as a respin of the original Manjaro OS.

This new Manjaro distribution comes with MATE 1.6.1, Firefox 23.0.1, Pamac 0.7.6 and VLC 2.0.8a as media player.

“On behalf of the Manjaro Turkey Community we are happy to announce our MATE Respin of Manjaro Linux ‘Ascella’. We thank the Manjaro developers putting up this nice platform to easily create our own custom spin of Manjaro,” reads the official entry on the Manjaro Blog.

Manjaro is a user-friendly Linux distribution based on the independently developed Arch operating system and it is known for being extremely customizable. This particular spin is a community endeavor and has nothing to do with the actual Manjaro developers.

More details about this release can be found in the official announcement. Download Manjaro MATE 0.8.7.1 right now from Softpedia.
