The GeckoLinux project is pleased to announce major updates to all editions of the Rolling branch, built from a recent snapshot of openSUSE Tumbleweed. For this GeckoLinux release, permissions have been relaxed for easier printer administration without the root password. Apart from the major openSUSE Tumbleweed updates included in this release, there are other no other major tweaks to the GeckoLinux configuration, which was already significantly improved in the previous release. GeckoLinux Rolling users with existing installations can simply update their systems with sudo zypper dup to receive the latest updates directly from openSUSE Tumbleweed and Packman mirror servers.

GeckoLinux overview

GeckoLinux spins are generated directly from unmodified openSUSE Tumbleweed and Packman packages sourced from those official upstream repositories, and the installed system can be updated directly from those same official sources. GeckoLinux is focused on eliminating pain points and polishing its unique out-of-the-box configuration on top of the stable and flexible openSUSE base. Proprietary media formats play out of the box, and additional user-installed multimedia applications work automatically with restricted media codecs thanks to the prioritized inclusion of the Packman repository. Proprietary hardware driver and firmware support has also been included as much as possible. Google and Skype repositories are also configured out-of-the-box for optional user installation of proprietary applications from those vendors. Third-party RPM packages can be easily installed using the graphical YaST package manager, and various configuration tweaks are included to modify openSUSE's default package management behavior. GeckoLinux uses the Calamares system installer, providing easy and flexible options for reliable installation of the live system. Important note: Non-English language packs are available and easily installable. Please see the wiki entry for more information.
