GeckoLinux

GeckoLinux is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE.

I've used Linux on the desktop since approximately 2001. I have used many versions of openSUSE since the project's inception, and I used SuSE Linux before that. I've always appreciated openSUSE's flexibility and highly innovative infrastructure, but the profusion of "paper cuts" in the default configuration always made me think twice before recommending it to others. This projects sets out to change that.

Features

Eight (8) editions: Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome, Plasma, Mate, Budgie, LXQt, and "BareBones"
"Static" releases based on openSUSE Leap
"Rolling" releases based on openSUSE Tumbleweed
An installable live DVD / USB image around 1GB in size
Individual editions for many different popular desktop environments with a pleasant default configuration
Carefully selected open source desktop programs and proprietary media codecs pre-installed and ready to use
Beautiful open source font rendering configured out of the box
Optimal power management with TLP pre-installed
Much more open source and patent encumbered software available in the pre-configured repositories
