now it seems like a lot of numbers but it's actually just the NUMBER_TOKEN implying it's a rolling so it's always going to be nine nine nine and then one one five three is NUMBER_TOKEN of leap and then the other numbers afterwards are the year month and day that the release is made so it does make sense even though there's a lot it looks like just a bunch of numbers but it does make sense so this has been in development for about seven months and there's some new features and there's also some improvements to the desktop environments for like the latest updates for those also many other improvements the gecko linux rolling edition is based on opensuse tumbleweed and has updated the in decimal environments such as kittyplasma NUMBER_TOKENNUMBER_TOKEN is included gnome NUMBER_TOKEN xfce NUMBER_TOKEN lxq NUMBER_TOKEN cinnamon NUMBER_TOKENNUMBER_TOKEN and others and they're also deciding to switch the to pipe wire by default which is really cool and they've also included a customized out-of-the-box configuration for it the developer from gecko linux says that this pipe wire configuration allows for hassle-free workflows involving simultaneous usage of applications that are coded to work with pulse audio and others that need jack support with no complicated bridging of the two systems now this is basically because pipe wire provides this functionality because pipe wire is just awesome and i can't wait to see more distributions put in the effort to support the uh various different implementations of pipewear that you can do you can have the jack features you can have pulse audio features there's so much cool stuff you can do with pipe wire so i'm really happy to see more and more distributions adding pipe wire by default now there are some distributions that still have some issues like for example if you are using anything debian based when when you see pipe wire as an option it's not really going to be pipe wire there's some very big limitations in those but for example the jack stuff doesn't really work right now in debian so if you want to truly experience pipe wire you need to try something like fedora even arch is possible or gecko linux maybe open sous so things like that there are many different distributions to try pipe wire but if you want to try it without like very little it's getting started uh barrier to entry fedora has it there by default so i would check i would check that out if you want to do that now gecko linux also now integrates the grub bootloader with butterfs and snapper snapshots which allows for essentially snap snapshots rollbacks without manual intervention intervention to the grub bootloader and also now for the default butterfest sub volume layout so there's also a lot more stuff in gekko linux and if you'd like to learn more about it i'll have links in the show notes below thanks for watching this episode of this week in linux if you like what i do here on the show please like that smash button and be sure to subscribe if you're new to the show you might not notice that we did some changes to the ui if you're also just listening to the podcast you wouldn't that would be very impressive if you notice the changes but i made some changes to this this episode in honor of it being episode NUMBER_TOKEN i flipped the visuals so they'll be flipped back for NUMBER_TOKEN but i
