GeckoLinux is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE.[5] It is available in two editions: Static, which is based on openSUSE Leap[6], and Rolling, which is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed.[7][5][8][9]

Features

GeckoLinux's ISOs are based on openSUSE's images (around 1 GB). Different editions come with different desktop environments[10], installed open-source programs, and ready-to-work proprietary programs and/or drivers. GeckoLinux also comes with font rendering through open-source software and pre-installed TLP for power management. It is open-source, available in public repositories.[5][11][12][13]

Differences from openSUSE

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. GeckoLinux has an offline Live-USB/DVD installer for both Static and Rolling editions. It comes with pre-installed programs and downloaded applications packages from the Packman repository. Since it is a pre-configured distribution, desktop programs can be deleted with data and dependencies, and it does not offer installation of some additional packages after its OS installs.[5][9][11]
