GeckoLinux 999.210517.0 introduces a number of new features, the biggest highlight of which is the fact that Btrfs is now used as the default file system.
Yes. This version offers several improvements in quality of life for GeckoLinux ROLLING users. By majority vote, the default file system for the various guided installation options for Calamares is now Btrfs with transparent Zstd data compression.

To top it off, on GeckoLinux 999.210517 the xf86-video-amdgpu graphics driver is now used by default for the latest AMD Ryzen hardware.

Finally, fans of the GNOME 40 desktop environment will be pleased to hear that GeckoLinux 999.210517 ROLLING is now shipping with GNOME 40.1.

The other editions have also been updated to the latest desktop environments, including LXQt 0.17, Budgie Desktop 10.5.3, KDE Plasma 5.21.5, Xfce 4.16, Cinnamon 4.8.6 and MATE 1.24.
