        • November 13, 2015, the first release of GeckoLinux 421.15.1113.6 was announced
        • Explaining the version number
        • In December 2015, alongside Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome and Budgie were added. In addition a BareBones edition. And a few days later Plasma, Mate, and LXQt get their first ISOs
        • SUSE Studio Express
        • Budgie put on ice for a while.
        • Pantheon is added. AND the Budgie ROLLING and NEXT editions make a return.
        • A vote for which default filesystem was held with btrfs winning. The same vote, but for the STATIC edition was held.
        • Static will have a sunset in the future due to the change in LEAP
        • Since that has happened yet GeckoLinux released after 15.4
