GeckoLinux Mate Edition: OpenSUSE that "JustWorks"?

OpenSUSE is a great distro but it's not that user friendly for people trying Linux for the first time. Third party repos need to be configured to get hold of all the non-free goodies that many desktop users want. Legal problems prevent OpenSUSE from including these out of the box, but this is where GeckoLinux comes in.

GeckoLinux is OpenSUSE, but it comes with the third party repos and the non-free goodies out of the box. In that sense it just works.

It also uses a simple calamares installer and for the most part it does just work.

That's not to say it's problem free, as you'll see in the video, but it's certainly a move in the right direction

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
