March 27, 2023 A Pause for Family
We wanted to let you know we postponed the recording of episode 19 due to a family emergency.
We’re thinking April 10th for the new release date, but can’t say that with absolute certainty.
If anything changes, we’ll update you again. In the mean time, we’ll publish a bit of the Shorts backlog and poke around the community a bit. So, hang tight! ❤️🙏

Gecko Linux the History
GeckoLinux
openSUSE
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
