manjaro ARM Shutdown
Manjaro-ARM, the Arch Linux-based distribution for embedded devices, is shutting down. The Manjaro-arm team announced the closure of the open source project. They’ve already stopped the development, bugfixes and any new releases for the distro. The bug tracker and wiki page would shut down on April 1, followed by the closure of the official website and forum on June 1.

Open source projects are mostly contributor-driven. The lack of supporting people has led to the discontinuation (almost) of popular open source software like Open Office. According to an announcement made on Saturday, Manjaro ARM is also facing a similar dilemma, the unavailability of enough contributors has compelled the development team to shut down the project.
Manjaro ARM is an Arch Linux-based distribution for ARM-powered embedded devices and single-board computers like Raspberry Pi. The Manjaro-arm team has already halted further development, package building and the plans to push any new releases. The shutdown schedule includes the closure of the wiki page, bug tracker, and package adding to the software repo which will close on May 1.
Manjaro ARM’s forum and official website will continue to run for about a month and go offline on June 1, 2017. The shutdown of the relay chat is yet to be disclosed. The team would assist anyone wanting to talk the Manjaro ARM project forward.

By
After months of wait, Poco has officially launched Poco F2 Pro. The phone is a sequel to the Poco F1 which was a huge success for the company back in 2018. It is also the second Poco contender in 2020. In February, the Poco brand revealed a new phone lineup and launched Poco X2. The phone was priced at Rs 15,999 and featured similar specs of Redmi K30, a Xiaomi flagship that was launched back in 2018. The company has applied the same strategy for today’s launch. As we expected, Poco F2 Pro bundles all the specs of Redmi K30 Pro that Xiaomi launched last month. Poco F2 Pro Specifications, Availability and Price Unlike the Poco X2, the phone offers a circular camera at the back and a pop-up selfie camera at the front as opposed to the regular dual-hole punch cutout on the display of Poco X2.
