+Mysterious GeckoLinux Creator Reveals a New Debian Remix Distro
+======
+GeckoLinux creator unveils a new Linux distribution based on Debian, focusing on simplicity and usability.
+
+![spiral linux][1]
+
+The creator of GeckoLinux (providing an improved openSUSE experience) remains anonymous.
+
+And, I won’t comment if it is a good or bad thing, but now the developer is back with another similar project based on Debian.
+
+**SpiralLinux**, a Debian-based distribution that aims to make Debian usable for the end-users.
+
+### SpiralLinux: A Distro Built from Debian
+
+![spirallinux][2]
+
+It is no surprise that most of the user-friendly Linux distributions have Debian as its original base. Ubuntu has managed to do a lot of improvements on top of it to make it a good desktop experience, even for users without prior Linux experience.
+
+So, how is this different?
+
+Well, the creator says that this project aims to help you use Debian with all its core strengths without customizing a lot of things.
+
+SpiralLinux is a close-to-vanilla experience if you want to use Debian on your desktop. You can also upgrade to the latest stable Debian version (or unstable/testing) as you require without losing the user-friendly customizations.
+
+In other words, SpiralLinux makes Debian fit for desktop usage with minimal efforts to the end-user.
+
+And, to achieve this, SpiralLinux uses official Debian package repositories providing a live installation method to let you setup a customized Debian system.
+
+Additionally, you have the following features in SpiralLinux:
+
+* VirtualBox support out-of-the-box
+* Preinstalled proprietary media codecs and non-free package repositories
+* Preinstalled proprietary firmware
+* Printer support
+* Flatpak support through a GUI (software center)
+* zRAM swap enabled by default
+* Multiple desktop environments (Cinnamon, XFCE, Gnome, Plasma, MATE, Budgie, LXQt)
+
+Considering Debian always sticks to the open-source and free packages, the end-user has to figure out the codecs, drivers, and other packages to make a lot of things work for a proper desktop experience.
+
+And, it seems like SpiralLinux could live as a useful alternative to Debian just like GeckoLinux is to openSUSE.
+
+### Download SpiralLinux
+
+If you always wanted to try Debian, but did not want to fiddle around a lot for initial configuration, you can try SpiralLinux.
+
+You can head to its official webpage hosted on GitHub to explore more about it.
