The development cycle of Linux Mangaka Mou, the next major release of the Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distribution for anime and manga fans, has begun with a first Beta build seeded to users worldwide earlier today, September 18, 2015. Being based on the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr), Linux Mangaka Mou Beta is currently built around the MATE desktop environment and has been designed to be as low on resources as possible.
