Linux 5.10, as well as updates to firmware, nvidia-390-glx-driver, open-vm-tools, openrazer, and virtualbox are now in the unstable repo. Assuming no blockers, should get landed into the stable repo this Friday. If you use the unstable repo, we encourage you to update and test!
We are proud to announce our newest iteration on our flagship desktop environment, #Budgie 10.5.2, with a diverse range of new features and bug fixes!
Read about all the goodies at https://getsol.us/2020/12/02/budgie-10-5-2-released
Breaking prior record of 1836 tracked jobs on the repo server during this sync with 1988 (few jobs completed before I could take screenshot) 🏆
Note: Doesn't mean that's how many packages changed, just how many deltas for them and their sub-packages we're creating. Still though!
It's time for The Roundup #17, your bytes of Solus news. In this roundup, we’re talking about our new desktop icons implementation for Budgie , GNOME 
3.38, KDE and Plasma 
updates, and more! 🎉

Congrats to Staudey on creating the 10000th patch to our development tracker! Absolutely incredible to see this many contributions to various packages by volunteers from around the world. You're all amazing. 🎉
True story: Solus contributor EbonJaeger introduced a Raven position option coming in Budgie 10.5.2 that allows you to choose whether or not to let Budgie handle Raven positioning itself, or always open it on the left or right side! 🎉
Some new goodies for #Plasma are landing on unstable by Solus Plasma and KDE maintainer Girtablulu at the moment! Get ready for an update of:
- QT 5.15.1
- #KDE 
Applications 20.8.2
- KDE Framework 5.75
- Plasma Desktop 5.20.1
🎉
But as always, if you use the unstable repo, wait to update until we give the okay inside our IRC development channel, it's gonna take a while to build everything. Stable repo is still obviously not affected. 😀
With nodejs v14 expected to become the next "active LTS" starting next week, we just cooked up 14.14.0 and sent it off to the build server. You'll get it in next week's updates!
If you write nodejs under Solus, we'd suggest reading the deprecations doc.
Join us for You're A Wizard, Usysconf! hackfest tomorrow (Sat. July 4th) at 1400 UTC. Bryan and I will both be working on usysconf, where Bryan will be working on state tracking and dependencies and I'll be working on a dconf parser and transition utility.
Tune in via https://multistre.am/therealdatadrake/joshstrobl/layout5/ #Solus

Over 1600 delta jobs (generates an eopkg with only the changes between package releases). Oh my! 😱
You should have an updated index now, so feel free to check for updates. Index will be hit-and-miss for a while until all the deltas are completed, just a heads up 🙂 #Solus
