In addition a BareBones edition (https://web.archive.org/web/20160327124759/https://susestudio.com/a/OO38wm/geckolinux-barebones). And a few days later Plasma, Mate, and LXQt get their first ISOs (https://web.archive.org/web/20151231064432/http://geckolinux.github.io:80/) SUSE Studio Express (https://www.suse.com/c/suse-studio-online-open-build-service-suse-studio-express/) Budgie put on ice (https://groups.google.com/g/geckolinux-updates/c/kv0OOBXOJvA) for a while. Pantheon is added (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/200830.152-Pantheon). AND the Budgie ROLLING and NEXT editions make a return (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/200830.152-Budgie). A vote for which default filesystem was held (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/issues/210) with btrfs winning. The same vote, but for the STATIC edition was held (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/issues/226). Static will have a sunset in the future due to the change in LEAP (https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/[e-mail]/thread/SHINA373OTC7M4CVICCKXDUXN5C3MYX3/) Since that has happened yet GeckoLinux released after 15.4 (https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/220822.154) Extra Information https://www.linux.org/threads/linux-daydreaming.32228/post-109419 https://www.linux.org/threads/linux-daydreaming.32228/post-109458 https://www.linux.org/threads/hello-from-the-geckolinux-creator.32256/ https://www.linux.org/threads/hello-from-the-geckolinux-creator.32256/post-109567 More Announcements Want to have a topic covered or have some feedback? - send us an email, [e-mail] Housekeeping Catch these and other great topics as they unfold on our Subreddit or our News channel on Discord. * Linux User Space subreddit (https://linuxuserspace.show/reddit) * Linux User Space Discord Server (https://linuxuserspace.show/discord) * Linux User Space Telegram (https://linuxuserspace.show/telegram) * Linux User Space Matrix (https://linuxuserspace.show/matrix) * Linux User Space Twitch (https://linuxuserspace.show/twitch) * Linux User Space Mastodon (https://linuxuserspace.sho
