The ISOs for this haven't been updated since 2022. Is this an older install or do you have some other reason for choosing to use this?

Also, if this is a new install how was the upgrade process?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Its basically OpenSUSE with better defaults for desktop use and it uses OpenSUSE repositories for updates alongside others that it adds.

It might be because if it's anything like spiral linux by the same creator, it's likely (more-or-less) just a pre-customized install rather than its own distro with its own repos and whatnot. Meaning that an old image would just update to a new version of opensuse with all changes and tweaks intact

Yeah, pretty sure, GeckoLinux doesn't have any repositories of its own.

I can't believe I missed that. If it's an online installer it would automatically be up to date after install.

That's just obvious, thanks for pointing it out. Think I need more coffee.

Glad I could help 😊
