This is the setup I have on GeckoLinux, a distro based on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I am using this on my main laptop as my main Distribution right now. I primarily use it for communication, work, and web-browsing, with gaming over steam and lutris being a side activity.
I am running XFCE with the Chicago 95 theme using a horizontal deskbar. I have a lot of minor changes to some settings that I used to make things look how I like them. For the menu icon and wallpaper, I have the character Xenia, an almost mascot for Linux.
It might be because if it's anything like spiral linux by the same creator, it's likely (more-or-less) just a pre-customized install rather than its own distro with its own repos and whatnot. Meaning that an old image would just update to a new version of opensuse with all changes and tweaks intact
This is great! I love the classic elements combined with modern features like the search in the menu. Firefox looks surprisingly good with the theme too :)

See my neofetch for system details.

It's really a pity that Xenia didn't won, she is my spirit animal.
The Look and Feel is really retro, I Dig it!

The ISOs for this haven't been updated since 2022. Is this an older install or do you have some other reason for choosing to use this?
Also, if this is a new install how was the upgrade process?

Yeah, pretty sure, GeckoLinux doesn't have any repositories of its own.

I can't believe I missed that. If it's an online installer it would automatically be up to date after install.
That's just obvious, thanks for pointing it out. Think I need more coffee.

Its basically OpenSUSE with better defaults for desktop use and it uses OpenSUSE repositories for updates alongside others that it adds.
