[NEXT] [ROLLING-OBS] Pantheon editions released

[sb7...@gmail.com]

GeckoLinux is pleased to announce the addition of the Pantheon desktop environment to its lineup. This has been made possible thanks to the hard work and responsive support of awissu, who is the maintainer of the Pantheon desktop packages for openSUSE. On top of these packages, GeckoLinux adds its own unique configuration to offer a polished and usable out-of-the-box system, in both NEXT and ROLLING editions.

The GeckoLinux NEXT Pantheon edition combines the X11:Pantheon:Branch OBS repository together with the openSUSE Leap 15.2 fixed-release base and the Packman multimedia repository. The installed system is meant to be updated directly from those well maintained upstream sources, and is therefore completely independent from the GeckoLinux project once installed to disk.

In a similar fashion, the GeckoLinux ROLLING-OBS Pantheon edition includes the same polished GeckoLinux set of configurations and pre-installed applications, together with multimedia support from the Packman repository, and the Pantheon packages from the X11:Pantheon:Branch OBS repository on top of an openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling base. The installed system is meant to be updated directly from those well maintained upstream sources, and is therefore completely independent from the GeckoLinux project once installed to disk.

Here's a preview of what you can expect in the GeckoLinux Pantheon editions:

Known Issues:

• There is one known issue with the Pantheon desktop on openSUSE (and therefore in GeckoLinux): In the live session, the NetworkManager applet opens the wrong control panel section for connecting to a WiFI network, and it asks for the WiFI password twice. This bug does not occur in the installed system.
