Now we customize Calamares via a simple config file, the way Calamares suggest that you do the customizations, and Calamares is now respecting the system’s theme too. No more old packages and rusty code.
Beaver Notes, our default notes app, moved from beaver-notes-bin to beaver-notes. We recommend that you remove the bin version and install the non-bin one from the repos.
We had to remove some of the themes from our TROMjaro Theme Switcher app because they were not playing well with the QT apps, so if you’re wondering why there aren’t as many themes as before this is why. Those people who like to have more customization options don’t worry you can still access all of those themes from the XFCE Appearance settings, just be aware that some of the themes may not play well with QT apps like mentioned before.
Changed the default layout to Windows-like, added custom GTK CSS, made the HUD wider, option to have a Virtual Keyboard toggle, switched to list view for the Appfinder, implemented a new Theme Switcher and the Flatpak fix using a new Colloid theme, improved the script for syncing the themes, better HiDPI support with automatic fixes for scaling, TROMjaro Welcome app.
Added the system-wide ad and tracker blocker (Internet Content Blocker) next to WebDAV support for Thunar and fingerprint reader support. Have a look!
Basically TROMjaro uses the latest Xfce and provides these from the get-go:
the Layout Switcher app with 6 customized layouts to make it easier to use and more functional (it can replicate most of the well known OS layouts out there: Windows, MX, Unity, MacOS, GNOME, TopX)
the new Theme Switcher app with dark/light themes and 10 color pairs to choose from (works with gtk, qt, even libadwaita, even with flatpacks!! - the ones that accept system theming)
tens of high quality flat-wallpapers that are hand-picked
a custom icon theme
the new system theme that has 10 color variations & is integrated very well into the entire system, supporting both GTK and QT apps
makes the terminal super cool, switching from bash to zsh
enables mouse and trackpad gestures via 2 separate apps (very powerful apps)
allows to control of RGB lights for the keyboard
automated system backups & a file-system backup app
apps to open or edit most known audio, image, documents or torrent files
a customized Firefox that removes the BS, the trackers, ads, sponsored content, and a lot more
you can even download media files from the browser itself, from most websites, or access scientific papers for free
basic apps to record your desktop, voice, webcam app, notes app
app to share unlimited amount of files
app to communicate with anyone without any server involved (text, video or audio)

2D action role playing gameFlare is an open source, 2D action role playing game. Its gameplay can be likened to the games in the Diablo series.
The Empyrean Campaign is a game made by the Flare team. The story begins with the player being exiled from their homeland of Empyrean, resulting in them embarking on a quest to regain entry. This journey takes the player through many regions, with plenty of side quests along the way.
The player can choose between three different character classes with distinct strengths and skills. Each character class has unique powers to unlock and improve as they level up.
Brute - A close-quarters fighter who utilizes swords, throwing-knives and other bladed weapons.
Scout - A ranged weapon and trap specialist who primarily uses bows to defeat its foes.
Adept - A spell caster who challenges enemies with fire, ice and lightning-based attacks.
Players may find or buy different items to protect themselves from attacks or boost their stats. These include potions, scrolls, weapons, armor, and magical artifacts. Along with the normal equipment, there are enchanted, rare, and unique pieces of gear that provide extra bonuses.
The Flare engine is licensed under GPL 3, whereas the Empyrean Campaign is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Both the engine and the game content are being actively developed, including new features, art, and content.

Open-source private logbook with a local agentic layer
Lotti is an open-source personal logbook — tasks, time recordings, voice notes, transcriptions, journal entries, habits, and health data — paired with an agentic layer of long-living AI agents that observe, suggest, summarise, and nudge. The agents run on your machine. With a powerful enough device, the model they call can run locally too — meaning your data never has to leave the device at all. On lighter hardware, or when you need to save battery, you keep the same agentic experience and route inference to a cloud provider you choose, on a per-category basis.
No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud storage. End-to-end encrypted multi-device sync runs over Matrix using Vodozemac (Rust) for Megolm crypto; the homeserver you bring relays only ciphertext between your own devices.
What it does:
Long-living AI agents (mission, soul, report directive) that read your logbook, propose changes, and only act after you approve
Two-database architecture: a strict separation between your facts (the user database) and what the agents think (the agentic database), enforced on disk
Run reasoning-capable models locally via oMLX or Ollama (e.g. Qwen 3.6 35B A3B, a Mixture-of-Experts model with ~3B active parameters) — or use Gemini Flash, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, or any OpenAI-compatible cloud provider, on a per-category basis
Local voice transcription with Whisper or Voxtral; cloud transcription via Gemini, OpenAI, or Mistral
AI-generated cover art for tasks via Nano Banana Pro on Gemini, OpenAI, or Qwen
Both the logbook and the agentic state sync end-to-end encrypted
Habit tracking with success/fail/skip completion types, custom measurables, dashboards, and time recording
Bring-your-own API keys for cloud providers, with jurisdiction choice per category (US, EU/GDPR-compliant, or Chinese)

User-friendly, powerful music visualization / VJing tool
Le Biniou works with music, voice, ambient sounds, whatever acoustic source you choose.
When you run Le Biniou it gives an evolutionary rendering of the sound you are playing.
You are given two options to run Le Biniou: You can manage entirely the sequences and choose your own series of pictures from the default library, your colour scales, the kind of alteration you want to apply or you can let Le Biniou's artificial intelligence run on its own.
Forget the old visualizations you are familiar with, discover a new multidimensional – spatial and chromatic – way of comprehending music and sounds for either artistic, recreational or didactic purposes.

Native TIDAL client for Linux — modern UI, bit-perfect lossless FLAC and Hi-Res audioSONE is a native, lightweight desktop client for TIDAL on Linux that pairs a
modern, polished interface with bit-perfect, lossless Hi-Res audio — no
compromise on either. Built with Tauri and Rust, it's small and fully native.
The interface is customizable to the core: a full-screen player with
karaoke-style synced lyrics, a floating miniplayer, and a theming engine that
derives a complete light or dark palette from any two colors.
It streams your library in lossless FLAC and Hi-Res quality up to
24-bit/192kHz, with gapless, silence-free playback. For bit-perfect output,
exclusive ALSA mode bypasses PulseAudio and PipeWire entirely, sending the
unaltered signal straight to your DAC — or use normal mode for casual
listening through your system's default output.
