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
