Mabox Linux – Beautiful Arch Linux with Openbox [Review]
|
||||
======
|
||||
MABOX LINUX IS A MANJARO LINUX RE-SPIN WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT OPENBOX WINDOW
|
||||
MANAGER, READY TO USE WITH PRE-CONFIGURED THEMES AND UTILITIES. WE
|
||||
REVIEW THE DISTRIBUTION IN THIS POST.
|
||||
If you love window manager, rolling-release-based Arch Linux and are looking for a ready-made Linux distribution with this combination, try Mabox Linux. The Mabox Linux is built on top of the great Manjaro Linux with Openbox Window manager and several native utilities.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to the Openbox, this Linux distribution is super-lightweight in resource consumption while being a beautiful desktop for everyone to use. The Mabox Linux tools adapted from BunsenLabs and inspired by Crunchbang brings some of their applications.
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s do a deep dive on this awesome Linux Distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mabox Linux Review
|
||||
|
||||
#### Installation and Live Medium
|
||||
|
||||
One of the advantages of Mabox .ISO is it provides you free and proprietary drivers both the options during the LIVE medium boot process. This helps if you have NVIDIA or other hardware in the system.
|
||||
|
||||
The LIVE desktop lets you install Mabox via the Calamares installer. The installation takes around 3 to 4 minutes on standard hardware, and it is error-free in my test.
|
||||
|
||||
The installer is managed to detect the other operating systems in the test device.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Look and Feel with Customization
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox brings a pre-configured Openbox window manager. The stock version looks nice with dark skin and a menu with panels.
|
||||
|
||||
The top panel is built using Tint2 and split into two sections. And Left panel gives you shortcuts to the main menu, file manager, web browser. Also, the panel have a different menu for the left and right-click mouse button. The right panel contains a resource monitor, volume control, screenshot shortcut and power menu. The top panel is not continuous and stay on top for application windows for certain themes.
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Linux with Nord Theme][1]
|
||||
|
||||
At the right section of the desktop, the pre-configured Conky script gives you system information with date, time, storage and other displays.
|
||||
|
||||
The welcome window gives you quick start shortcuts on settings, help and support with links to documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
The window managers are keyboard friendly and sometimes have trouble with the Mouse. But thanks to Openbox and pre-configured Mabox, you can easily use Mouse while increasing your productivity with nifty keyboard shortcuts.
|
||||
|
||||
The right-click menu on the desktop gives you easily search and launch options.
|
||||
|
||||
![Search and Launch from desktop][2]
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not like the default look, you can customize it on your own with just a few clicks via Openbox and Tint2 panel configuration tool.
|
||||
|
||||
![Main Application Menu][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox has different themes as pre-set, including Panel and Concky scripts. You can click and apply with these stunning Mabox themes. It is one of the excellent features if you do not want to get into the hassles of configuring the panels, colours and Conky on your own.

|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Themes][5]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Applications
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox Linux packages all necessary applications in its installer image. Here is a quick list of essential applications that are included.
|
||||
|
||||
* Terminal – terminator
|
||||
* Xpad – quick text pad
|
||||
* File manager – PCManFM
|
||||
* FSearch for desktop file search
|
||||
* Flameshot screenshot utility
|
||||
* Geany text editor
|
||||
* Audacious music player
|
||||
* Firefox web browser
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox also includes its control centre to manage your system effectively. Mabox control center gives you the option to add/remove applications, update your system, launch several configuration windows for window manager components and many such options.
|
||||
|
||||
If you cannot find any settings, you can easily find them in the Mabox control center via its logical grouping of system settings.
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Control Center][6]
|
||||
|
||||
#### What about the performance?
|
||||
|
||||
The performance of Mabox Linux is super impressive. Thanks to the Openbox window manager, Mabox only uses around 350+ MB of RAM while the CPU hovers at 2% to 3% during the idle state.
|
||||
|
||||
The default installation takes around 5.39 GB of disk space which is unbelievable with all these applications and settings programs pre-installed.
|
||||
|
||||
It is so optimized that the highest app consuming more memory is Xorg with 90 MB.
|
||||
|
||||
So, I thought of trying out heavy usage performance. And that performance is also surprising. I opened a file manager, Firefox, with three tabs, one text editor for development, a terminal window and the Control Center. With this workload, Mabox only consumes around 920 MB of memory and CPU at 6% to 7%.
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Linux Heavy Workload Performance][7]
|
||||
|
||||
During the [review of several distributions][8], this is the first time I found a distro that did not cross 1 GB of memory during a heavy workload. But the results may vary in different use cases. Still, the metric is impressive.
|
||||
|
||||
### Can Mabox Linux be used as daily driver?
|
||||
|
||||
If you are familiar and comfortable with Arch Linux with the window manager, you can use Mabox Linux as a daily driver. A few well-packaged Arch Linux distros are available with a window manager, and Mabox is one of the best.
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Linux Windows 95 pre-configured theme][9]
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
I think the Mabox Linux team did a great job packaging all the components with Arch Linux and presented with a nice Linux Distribution. It does look stunning while consuming very few system resources. With the power of rolling-release based Arch Linux, I think you can trust this distro for long term usage.
|
||||
|
||||

Mabox Linux - 带有 Openbox 的美丽的 Arch Linux （回顾）
|
||||
======
|
||||
Mabox Linux 是一个 MANJARO LINUX 重制版，带有一个轻量级的 Openbox 窗口管理器，可以与预配置的主题和实用程序一起使用。 我们在这篇文章中回顾这个发行版。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你喜欢窗口管理器、基于滚动发布的 Arch Linux，并且正在寻找一个具有这种组合的现成的 Linux 发行版，请尝试 Mabox Linux。Mabox Linux 是建立在很棒的 Manjaro Linux 之上的，带有 Openbox 窗口管理器和一些原生实用程序。
|
||||
|
||||
由于有了 Openbox，这个 Linux 发行版在资源消耗方面是超级轻量级的，同时也是一个供大家使用的漂亮桌面。改编自 BunsenLabs 并受 Crunchbang 启发的 Mabox Linux 工具带来了他们的一些应用。
|
||||
|
||||
让我们来深入了解一下这个了不起的 Linux 发行版。
|
||||
|
||||
### Mabox Linux 回顾
|
||||
|
||||
#### 安装和 Live 媒体
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox .ISO 的优势之一是它在 LIVE 媒体启动过程中为你提供了免费和专有的驱动程序两种选择。如果你的系统中有 NVIDIA 或其他硬件，这对你有帮助。
|
||||
|
||||
Live 桌面让你通过 Calamares 安装程序来安装 Mabox。在标准硬件上，安装大约需要 3 到 4 分钟，在我的测试中是没有错误的。
|
||||
|
||||
安装程序是设法检测测试设备中的其他操作系统的。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 具有自定义的外观和感觉
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox 带来了一个预配置的 Openbox 窗口管理器。原有的版本看起来不错，有深色皮肤和带面板的菜单。
|
||||
|
||||
顶部的面板是用 Tint2 构建的，分成两个部分。而左边的面板为你提供了主菜单、文件管理器、网络浏览器的快捷方式。另外，面板上的鼠标左键和右键有不同的菜单。右边的面板包含资源监视器、音量控制、截图快捷方式和电源菜单。顶部面板不是连续的，在某些主题下，应用程序窗口会停留在顶部。
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Linux with Nord Theme][1]
|
||||
|
||||
在桌面的右边部分，预先配置好的 Conky 脚本给你提供系统信息，包括日期、时间、存储和其他显示。
|
||||
|
||||
欢迎窗口为你提供了关于设置、帮助和支持的快速启动快捷方式，并有文档链接。
|
||||
|
||||
窗口管理器对键盘友好，有时对鼠标有困难。但由于 Openbox 和预配置的 Mabox，你可以轻松地使用鼠标，同时通过灵巧的键盘快捷方式提高你的工作效率。
|
||||
|
||||
桌面上的右键菜单为你提供了轻松的搜索和启动选项。
|
||||
|
||||
![Search and Launch from desktop][2]
|
||||
|
||||
如果你不喜欢默认的外观，你可以通过 Openbox 和 Tint2 面板配置工具，只需点击几下就可以自行定制。
|
||||
|
||||
![Main Application Menu][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox 有不同的主题作为预设，包括面板和 Concky 脚本。你可以点击并应用这些令人惊叹的 Mabox 主题。如果你不想陷入自己配置面板、颜色和 Conky 的麻烦中，这是一个很好的功能。
|
||||
|
||||
一套好的墙纸可以让你灵活地让它在短时间内看起来更加美妙。
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Themes][5]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 应用
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox Linux 将所有必要的应用打包在其安装镜像中。以下是所包含的基本应用的快速列表。
|
||||
|
||||
* Terminator 终端
|
||||
* Xpad 快速写字板
|
||||
* PCManFM 文件管理器
|
||||
* FSearch 用于桌面文件搜索
|
||||
* Flameshot 截图工具
|
||||
* Geany 文本编辑器
|
||||
* Audacious 音乐播放器
|
||||
* Firefox 网络浏览器
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox 还包括控制中心，以有效管理你的系统。Mabox 控制中心让你可以选择添加/删除应用，更新你的系统，为窗口管理组件启动几个配置窗口和许多这样的选项。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你找不到任何设置，你可以在 Mabox 控制中心通过其系统设置的逻辑分组轻松找到它们。
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Control Center][6]
|
||||
|
||||
#### 性能如何？
|
||||
|
||||
Mabox Linux 的性能是超级令人印象深刻的。由于采用了 Openbox 窗口管理器，Mabox 只用了大约 350 多 MB 的内存，而 CPU 在空闲状态下徘徊在 2% 到 3%。
|
||||
|
||||
默认安装需要大约 5.39GB 的磁盘空间，这对所有这些预装的应用和设置程序来说是不可思议的。
|
||||
|
||||
它是如此优化，以至于消耗内存最多的应用是 Xorg，有 90MB。
|
||||
|
||||
所以，我想尝试一下重度使用下的性能。而这个性能也是令人惊讶的。我打开了一个文件管理器，带三个标签的 Firefox，一个用于开发的文本编辑器，一个终端窗口和控制中心。在这样的工作负荷下，Mabox 只消耗了大约 920MB 的内存和 6% 到 7% 的 CPU。
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Linux Heavy Workload Performance][7]
|
||||
|
||||
在[回顾几个发行版][8]的过程中，这是我第一次发现一个发行版在重度工作负荷下不超过 1GB 内存的情况。但在不同的使用情况下，结果可能有所不同。不过，这个指标还是令人印象深刻。
|
||||
|
||||
### Mabox Linux 可以作为日常驱动使用吗？
|
||||
|
||||
如果你对带有窗口管理器的 Arch Linux 比较熟悉和适应，你可以把 Mabox Linux 作为日常驱动使用。有几个打包好的 Arch Linux 发行版带有窗口管理器，而 Mabox 是其中最好的一个。
|
||||
|
||||
![Mabox Linux Windows 95 pre-configured theme][9]
|
||||
|
||||
### 总结
|
||||
|
||||
我认为 Mabox Linux 团队将所有的组件与 Arch Linux 打包在一起，并呈现出一个漂亮的 Linux 发行版，做得非常好。它的外观确实令人惊艳，而消耗的系统资源却很少。有了基于 Arch Linux 的滚动发布功能，我认为你可以信赖这个发行版的长期使用。
