Solus @Solus@fosstodon.org

Latest ISO snapshots have been sent to Beta Tester and Crew tiers of the @Solus OpenCollective. Nothing especially fancy this week, mostly some updated packages, but if you wanna save on a bit of updates since Solus 4.3 you are welcome to nab them.

#Solus is the only OS listed under Beginner-friendly in the latest @LinusTech video that is not based on Ubuntu (or in fact, based on any other operating system).

Rest of the video is basically "how to do xyz under PopOS" which is eh, but hey, progress.

Side-note for new users, ReplaySorcery is in the Solus repo and is IMO a better alternative to Shadowplay. No needing to remember to launch OBS Studio, no custom compilation of separate software to act as a source, etc.

Solus 4.3 Released with Linux Kernel 5.13, KDE Plasma 5.22, and GNOME 40.2

Last batch of release testing ISOs have been sent out to @Solus OpenCollective members in the Release Testers, Beta Testers, and Crew tiers. Hoping to see kernel 5.13.1 out soon, after that we are ready to go for a new release. I have everything prepped already 🙂

It took some work with patching NVIDIA drivers, but 5.13.0 is now in the unstable repo! If you are a brave Solus user and would like to test, I wrote up some details on our forums. Otherwise, assuming no gremlins, everyone else will get it this Friday.

Currently cooking Linux 5.13 for @Solus. No ETA on when it'll land in unstable (then stable), varies based on rebuilds and testing, but excited for all the new hardware support! 💪

Not impressed with Windows 11 and thinking about switching over to Linux? Addicted to World of Warcraft? Well with the power of Lutris, Proton, and the Ajour addon manager in the @Solus repository, you can keep that addiction and not have to compromise on your WoW classic or retail experience!

Just sent out the second batch of "4.3 release test" ISOs for those in the Release Testers, Beta Testers, and Crew tiers of the @Solus OpenCollective! If you aren't part of our OpenCollective, be sure to join at a monthly tier at https://opencollective.com/getsolus

Want to subject yourself to that odd new #Windows11 panel layout, without all the downsides of Windows?

Voila. Took me like 30 seconds in Budgie on @Solus. You're welcome 😛

Like watching paint dry? Then do I got the stream for you! Doing the Solus sync in about 45min and will be streaming it, plus some various stuff (blog post writing, artwork checking, branding package updates, etc. in prep for Solus 4.3, live!
