GeckoLinux Features

• An installable live DVD / USB image based on openSUSE around 1GB in size
• Individual editions for many different popular desktop environments with a pleasant default configuration
• Carefully selected open source desktop programs and proprietary media codecs pre-installed and ready to use
• Beautiful open source font rendering configured out of the box
• Optimal power management with TLP pre-installed
• Much more open source and patent encumbered software available in the pre-configured repositories
• Uses the excellent infrastructure already in place for openSUSE, with no repackaging or modification of packages
• An installed system can be smoothly upgraded to future openSUSE releases while retaining its unique GeckoLinux configuration.

How Is This Different From openSUSE?

• GeckoLinux comes as an offline installable live DVD / USB image for Static and Rolling editions, whereas openSUSE has a non-live DVD / USB installer, a net-installer image, or Tumbleweed live DVD / USB with net-installer options.
• GeckoLinux offers customized editions optimized for different desktop environments, whereas openSUSE requires the user to know how to install patterns and packages for different desktop environments.
• GeckoLinux comes pre-installed with common niceties such as proprietary media codecs, whereas openSUSE for legal reasons requires users to know how to add additional repositories and which packages to add.
• GeckoLinux prefers packages from the Packman repo when they are available, whereas some of openSUSE's default packages don't work with patent-restricted features even if the features are installed from other sources.
• GeckoLinux comes pre-configured with what many would consider to be good font rendering, whereas many users find openSUSE's default font configuration to be less than desirable.
• GeckoLinux does not force the installation of additional recommended packages after system installation, whereas openSUSE pre-installs patterns and automatically installs recommended package dependencies, thus causing many additional and possibly unwanted packages to be installed the first time the package manager is used.
• GeckoLinux's desktop programs can be uninstalled with all their dependencies, whereas openSUSE's patterns often cause uninstalled packages to be automatically re-installed.

Who Are You?

I've used Linux on the desktop since approximately 2001. I have used many versions of openSUSE since the project's inception, and I used SuSE Linux before that. I've always appreciated openSUSE's flexibility and highly innovative infrastructure, but the profusion of 'paper cuts' in the default configuration always made me think twice before recommending it to others. This projects sets out to change that.

The Need

I was recently using multiple machines for work (Lab machines, friend's laptop, etc) and I needed Linux. I own a 128GB MacBook Air I could'nt install Linux on it as storage was tiny. I did have a USB 3.0 flash drive which had speeds comparable to some(not-so-fast) harddrives. It struck me that if I install Linux on my flash drive it would make my life a hell lot easier. It was later that I realised it wasn't so straight forward mainly because of EFI boot and Mac ‘quirks'. I did a lot of googling but could'nt find anything that worked. After reading multiple sources I deduced what was the problem. Since I got it figured out I decided to write this post so that other people can benefit from it.

The problem

• Modern Macs boot using EFI and their bootloader expects boot partition to be HFS+ or APFS(High Sierra) not EXT4.
• Ubuntu installer is buggy and always installs bootloader in EFI partition of internal HDD despite being instructed to install it on EFI partition of flash drive.
  • This makes the flash drive only bootable on the mac it was made on

The Solution

Step 1: Preparing live USB for installation

• Download https://unetbootin.github.io/

• Download your favourite Ubuntu flavor, Im using Ubuntu Mate

• 2d digital art. Burn the iso to a USB drive(not on your installation flash drive) using UNetbootin

  ​

Step 2: Boot using live installation drive

• Plug both drives and press option+power button

• Choose EFI boot option

• Choose Try Ubuntu without Installing

  ​

Step 3: Install Linux on target flash drive

• Once into the live session, open terminal and run ubuquity —no-bootloader , this will start installation wizard in a mode that wont install a bootloader (Dont worry we will take care of it later)

• Keep going next untill an option comes as shown in below image. Choose Something else

• On your target drive, create a 200MB EFI System Partition as the first partition (Primary)
• Create a reasonable sized ext4 partition, with mount point = ' (Primary)

• Click on Install
• Reboot into Mac after installation finishes

Step 4: Setting up Boot manager

Linux Usb Download

We will be using a super awesome 3rd party boot manager rEFInd. It can detect any operating systems installed in EFI mode and boot them.

• Download rEFInd zip and extract it
• Open Terminal and navigate to rEFInd directory
• Run diskutil list and find the name of your flash drive's EFI partition. (In my case /dev/disk2s1)
• Run ./refind-install --usedefault /dev/diskXXX (replace XXX with appropriate name)

Now your flash drive is ready to boot on any Mac or EFI compatible PC. Moreover, if you ever mess up your bootloader and are unable to boot rEFInd can help you boot into your OS (if it exists :p)

Testing on Mac and PC

MacBook Air (Early 2015)

• Press option+power and select EFI Boot
  

• Select your apropriate Linux to boot
  

Asus X550LD (PC)

• Boot from flash drive in UEFI Mode
