The current version of TROMjaro is as close as it gets to being a Manjaro clone. However, a much different philosophy gives users something more than the Manjaro distro itself offers. The latest ISO release, issued Nov. 11, is labeled “version 11.11.2019” and is based on Manjaro 18.1.2 “Juhraya.” As such, TROMjaro is part of the Arch Linux family. However, thanks to TROMjaro’s frequent rolling release update schedule, the distro already has advanced beyond the features baked into the almost three-month old ISO.
Thanks for reviewing this distro, which might actually become my first foray into the Arch family of Linux distros. And thanks for bringing the TROM project to my notice, of which I haven't ever heard, but the first impression of which I find interesting enough that I'll be looking more closely at it.
