With openSUSE being the only real KDE distro that he’s ever found tolerable, Mayank Sharma wonders if a spin can add anything to that experience.

GeckoLinux Rolling

IN BRIEF

GeckoLinux turns a stock openSUSE release into a desktop-oriented spin. Broadly speaking, GeckoLinux is to openSUSE what Linux Mint is to Ubuntu, or what Korora was to Fedora. Managed by a single anonymous developer, GeckoLinux is surprisingly polished and available with all the popular desktop environments.

SPECS

CPU: Any 64-bit processor

Memory: 1GB

HDD: 10GB

Build: 64-bit

OpenSUSE is one of those distros that regularly slips through the cracks, thanks mostly to its once-a-year release cycle. Despite our infrequent coverage of the distro, we’ve always praised it as one of the most polished KDE renditions.

GeckoLinux promises to offer the stability and behind-the-scenes architectural benefits of one of the few well-funded open source distros, tailored for the average Linux desktop user, even if that means shipping with proprietary drivers and programs.
