Many thanks to Github user greg-weber for discovering an incompatibility between the openSUSE adaptation of GRUB2 on legacy BIOS installations and the Btrfs Zstd compression method used by default in the latest set of GeckoLinux ROLLING spins. The latest GeckoLinux ROLLING 999.210526 set of updated ISOs includes a solution.

It is recommended that GeckoLinux users with existing Btrfs installations from version 999.210519 run the following command to disable compression on the /boot directory before performing system package updates:
sudo chattr -R -c +m /boot

GeckoLinux ROLLING spins are generated directly from unmodified openSUSE Tumbleweed and Packman repositories, and the installed system can be updated directly from those official sources. GeckoLinux continues to be focused on eliminating pain points and polishing its unique out-of-the-box configuration on top of the stable and flexible openSUSE base. Proprietary media formats play out of the box, and additional user-installed multimedia applications work automatically with restricted media codecs thanks to the prioritized inclusion of the Packman repository. Proprietary hardware driver and firmware support has also been included as much as possible. Google and Skype repositories are also configured out-of-the-box for optional user installation of proprietary applications from those vendors. Third-party RPM packages can be easily installed using the graphical YaST package manager, and various configuration tweaks are included to modify openSUSE's default package management behavior. GeckoLinux uses the Calamares system installer, providing easy but powerful options for reliable installation of the live system.

Please download GeckoLinux from https://geckolinux.github.io and find more information about what makes GeckoLinux different from openSUSE. Thanks a lot, have fun!
