Solus 4.7 Plasma

The Solus project develops an independent, rolling release distribution with a focus on desktop computing. The project has published Solus 4.7 (also labelled 2025-01-26) which features improved video card support and does away with the old software centre. "We encourage you to try one of the new software centres as a replacement for solus-sc (Solus Software Centre). A new software centre gets you out-of-the-box support for Flatpaks, and better app descriptions through Appstream metadata support. Our contributors and staff have been hard at work adding and fixing the metainfo.xml files used for Appstream support. Our goal is for every packaged GUI application to have a working metainfo.xml file, so that the software centres can show users all kinds of information about an app before they decide to install it. Curious Budgie, GNOME and Xfce users can install GNOME Software, while Plasma users should install Discover."

Solus-Plasma-Release-2024-10-14

The project has published a new snapshot, Solus 4.6, which makes changes to the multimedia applications and includes a merged /usr directory. "All our editions feature: Firefox 131.0.3, LibreOffice 24.2.5.2, Thunderbird 128.3.1. For audio and video multimedia playback, we offer software out-of-the-box that caters specifically to our desired experience for each edition. Budgie and GNOME editions ship with Rhythmbox for audio playback, with the latest release of the Alternate Toolbar extension to provide a more modern user experience. Budgie and GNOME ship with Celluloid for video playback. Xfce ships with Parole for multimedia playback. Plasma ships with Elisa for audio playback and Haruna for video playback. Over the summer, the Solus team has been tackling the Usr-Merge conundrum; read Evan’s excellent blog post for the full story. We have now reached the end of Stage 3 on our rollout plan: All users with an updated system now have a Usr-Merge’d system. Any users that create a fresh installation with today’s ISOs will also have a merged system."

Solus-4.5-Budgie

Solus is an independent Linux distribution featuring the eopkg package manager and the flagship edition runs the Budgie desktop environment. The latest release of Solus, version 4.5, introduces a new desktop spin for Xfce (which is considered to be in beta status) and switches to the Calamares system installer to get the system up and running. "The Solus team is proud to announce the release of Solus 4.5 Resilience. This release brings updated applications and kernels, refreshed software stacks, a new installer, and a new ISO edition featuring the Xfce desktop environment. With Solus 4.5 comes a new installation experience using the Calamares installer. This enables easier installation using filesystems like BTRFS, specifying your own partition layout right in the installer, and it’s a major step in migrating away from Python 2, which the old os-installer was written in. A ton of work has gone into the new installation experience, and we are glad to finally release it to everyone!"
