GeckoLinux announced the 999.210221 update. GeckoLinux rolling spins are generated directly from unmodified openSUSE Tumbleweed and Packman repositories. It also allows installed systems to be updated directly from those official sources. It focuses on eliminating pain points and polishing its unique out-of-the-box configuration on top of the stable and flexible openSUSE base. GeckoLinux rolling editions use the Calamares system installer at version 3.2.27.
