**Linux 4.9** being the default kernel, the whole variety of Manjaro kernels from the mature and rock-solid 3.10 series to the latest 4.10 release and two realtime kernel series is available for easy installation with the Settings Manager.

  * classic menu **Gnomenu**
  * **Openweather**
  * **TaskBar**, preview and icon of active applications
  * native GNOME dock **DashtoDock**
  * **User Themes** for easy customization and
  * **Removable drive menu**

More extensions can easily be installed via https://extensions.gnome.org/ using Firefox or also with **chrome-gnome-shell** from the Manjaro repos for Chrome(ium) browsers.
