GeckoLinux is pleased to announce the return of the Budgie Desktop to its lineup. This has been made possible thanks to the hard work of gmbr3, who is the new maintainer of the Budgie Desktop packages for openSUSE. On top of these packages, GeckoLinux adds its own unique configuration to offer a polished and usable desktop out-of-the-box, in both NEXT and ROLLING editions.

The GeckoLinux NEXT Budgie edition combines the X11:Solus OBS repository together with the openSUSE Leap 15.2 fixed-release base and the Packman multimedia repository. The installed system is meant to be updated directly from those well maintained upstream sources, and is therefore completely independent from the GeckoLinux project once installed to disk.

The GeckoLinux ROLLING Budgie edition also includes the same polished GeckoLinux set of configurations and pre-installed applications, together with multimedia support from the Packman repository. In the case of the ROLLING edition, the openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling base offers the Budgie desktop packages in its main package repository, so no additional OBS packages are required. The installed system is meant to be updated directly from its well maintained upstream sources, and is therefore completely independent from the GeckoLinux project once installed to disk.

Here's a preview of what you can expect in the GeckoLinux Budgie editions:
