The distribution's latest release, GeckoLinux 423, uses a new build system, called Kiwi: "Thanks to Kiwi, GeckoLinux now boasts the following improvements: Much smoother and more reliable startup. Splash screen during live system startup. Better hardware detection, especially X.Org startup with certain troublesome graphics cards. No more entering passwords for the live session user account. Live USB persistence - GeckoLinux can now be used as an excellent portable OS, not just as an installation medium. Cleaner ISO image build process and structure that is more in line with openSUSE."

Distribution Release: GeckoLinux 422 |
|
The GeckoLinux project is an openSUSE-based, desktop oriented distribution. The project provides eight different editions with live discs for testing purposes. The latest version of the distribution, GeckoLinux 422.161213.0, is based on openSUSE 42.2 Leap and includes many package updates. "Changes to all GeckoLinux Static editions: The base system has been updated to openSUSE Leap 42.2, with updated versions of the Linux kernel (4.4.36), systemd (228), GTK+ (3.20), Qt (5.6.1) and glibc (2.22). Also the GeckoLinux language-installer.sh script for non-English language packs has been updated to be more reliable and easy to use. Also the script created by Mindaugas Baranauskas to ensure that X.Org correctly starts has been significantly improved, and SiS graphics support has also been included. Perhaps the most important change is that the old yast2-live-installer that served us well for past releases is no longer supported by openSUSE and no longer works. Therefore, it has been replaced by the Calamares universal installer framework." Further information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (MD5, pkglist): GeckoLinux_Cinnamon.x86_64-422.161213.0.iso (970MB), GeckoLinux_Mate.x86_64-422.161213.0.iso (1,013MB), GeckoLinux_Gnome.x86_64-422.161213.0.iso (981MB), GeckoLinux_Plasma_Stable.x86_64-422.161213.0.iso (1,042MB). |
