Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce another update to the GeckoLinux NEXT Plasma edition. The purpose of this edition is not to replace the regular GeckoLinux Static Plasma release, but rather as an alternative for those who want the latest Plasma stable release on top of a stable openSUSE Leap base. This is achieved thanks to some additional OBS repositories, together with the polished GeckoLinux configuration for the Plasma desktop. Like all GeckoLinux editions, Plasma NEXT can be smoothly updated from the official repositories of openSUSE and Packman as new package versions become available. In the case of the GeckoLinux NEXT Plasma edition, the next major release of Plasma 5 will also be available from the official KDE repositories in the openSUSE Build Service whenever it is released at a future date.

What's New:

The major new feature of this release is the brand new Plasma 5.13 desktop environment. It also includes KDE Applications 18.04 and the KDE Framework at version 5.47.0.

Apart from the Plasma and KDE highlights, the base system of this GeckoLinux NEXT Plasma update is now in line with the latest openSUSE Leap 15.0 release. There are many, many new package versions in this release-- the Linux kernel at version 4.12.14, Firefox Quantum 60, LibreOffice 6.0.4, and countless more available in the software repositories. The greatly improved Calamares installer at version 3.2 with updated versions of major underlying utilities will make installing GeckoLinux straightforward and reliable. (Note: the old yast2-live-installer that used to be available in GeckoLinux was deprecated by openSUSE a long time ago, and unfortunately it is no longer compatible with the current state of openSUSE.)

You can download GeckoLinux STATIC Plasma here.
