Glad you like it! Just a note about the Builder edition: Unlike the other SpiralLinux editions, Builder is not intended for usage as a final product. In my opinion Icewm does not make for a usable system for typical users, and there is almost no polish to the GUI presentation layer in Builder...

Yep, exactly. The main problem I was seeing on my hardware and also from user reports is that the functionality for automatically disabling the touchpad while typing wasn't working with Synaptics despite the option being enabled in the desktop environment's mouse settings GUI. It was still...

Thanks very much Wizard for the heads-up!

Hi there @wendy-lebaron , what Distrowatch announced last week was their mistake, that was just a development upload not yet ready for release. Regarding your touchpad, it's definitely worth trying the new release as it now uses libinput, whereas before it was using synaptics. Regarding...

Hi there, yep, there will be new ISOs, although it's not urgent since the upgrade process as described in the wiki works very well.

Really glad it's working well for you! Thanks a lot for the recommendation.

Thanks @KGIII ! Really appreciate it. I'll try to remind you in a few days. ;-)

Hi everyone, I'm the creator and maintainer of GeckoLinux, which is a project to polish off the rough edges from openSUSE and make it much quicker to install and more usable out-of-the-box. GeckoLinux isn't going anywhere, but it looks like the openSUSE Leap branch the way we know it as a...

Thanks for saying thanks! Made my day.

Hi there, thanks for the ping! I haven't found systemd to be a major culprit in system resource usage. Opening an additional tab in a modern web browser probably uses far more resources than any init system out there. Additionally, since openSUSE uses systemd and GeckoLinux is an alternative...
