Manjaro 15.12 KDE Screenshots Tour

The new development version of Manjaro is now hits version 15.12. I just downloaded the KDE version of Manjaro 15.12, run it from my USB flash disk. Manjaro 15.12 KDE edition comes with the new KDE Plasma 5.5.0 and powered with Linux Kernel 4.3.2.1-Manjaro. 

With this new configuration, Manjaro KDE is pretty much lightweight and faster than previous version. KDE Plasma 5.5.0 does a great job on this.
The Desktop

Manjaro 15.12 KDE Desktop has simple looks. The application menu can be accessed from the bottom left button.
KDE Application Menu

A redesigned application menu now more responsive. Thanks to the new KDE Plasma 5.5.0.
Octopi Application Manager

Manjaro KDE uses Octopi to manage your software. You can easily add or remove software from Octopi.
Manjaro System Settings

You can access all the settings via System Settings. Its pretty standard of System Settings.
Final Thoughts
For KDE users, this new KDE Plasma 5.5.0 could be a huge leap. All applications, menu, effects are smoother, faster and quicker. I have been tested several distros with KDE Plasma prior to version 5.5.0 and all of them are pretty slow.
Manjaro 15.12 KDE edition is a beautiful Linux desktop you should give a try. 

How to create Manjaro Live USB from Windows 10

Here I will show you how I create a Manjaro Live USB from a Windows 10 machine. The software I use is Win32 Disk Imager. You may download this program from this link. Install the program and run it when ready. 

On Win32 Disk Imager main window, specify the USB device drive. On my example above, my USB flash disk is recognized as I. Then, browse the Manjaro ISO file. You can download Manjaro ISO file from the official Manjaro website. 

Make sure you change the file type to (*.*). Otherwise you won't see your ISO file listed. 

When ready, click Write to start the process. Once finished, reboot your computer and boot to the USB flash disk you've just created.

Enjoy running Manjaro Live USB. Thank you
