[manjaro-general] 1st Release Candidate of Manjaro Openbox 0.8.9 available!

[Manjaro Linux | Manjaro Linux: Manjaro Team]

[![manjaro-obleg-089][1]][2][![manjaro-obevo-089][3]][4]We are happy to announce our first release candidates of Manjaro Openbox Editions.

You get **Openbox 3.5.2** now from two editions: **Legacy** and **Evolution**. Each variant targets different audiences. Legacy is designed for our geeks. You can build up everything. We ship a **bare system** with that edition, just our cli package manager added and some basic system tools. With Evolution we offer **common used applications** and **Turbulence** to change your wallpapers, choose your panel position, install additional packages and much more.

**Turbulence** started as a tool to customize various aspects of your operating system at first boot for the KDE desktop. Similar to Chakra's kapudan, written in QT and Python, Turbulence is completely unique to Manjaro. To make our openbox editions even more userfriendly, we decided to port Turbulence also to that desktop environment.

Some of it's features are:
