Solus Plasma - after installing Nvidia drivers i can't find Nvidia settings. Drivers work well. I checked both on Wayland and X11. It is how it should be?

Edit - settings appeared after reboot.

Thanks for great release!

elfprince Which one above is owned by the 'Rat' ? 😄

A rat? I always thought it was a mouse! 🙂

brent downloading XFCE now. Congratulations to all. 1/8/2024 in history: 4.5 Resilience.

Offtopic, which theme (and which desktop) are you using there? I like it a lot.

joluveba gtk looks like adapta, dont know about the panel

joluveba where on forum can we discuss Linux themes?

Sorry, I found 'Plata Noir' theme Solus application manager. But it does not have shades like in Zorin OS - the theme for Solus is too black
I would say the charcoal theme of Plata Noir.

penny-farthing

Hats off to you! 😃

brent @davidjharder ----"For a demonstration of pipewire’s out-of-the-box capabilities, see this forum post about noise reduction for microphone inputs." [there was no post linked].

Works for me.

brent

davidjharder maybe the link is absent for me via my own extensions?

@joluveba that is just a picture of stock Libre Wolf tabs...their font and font size..with the theme I found at the Firefox store called "Blue Sky-Silver Sea."

The work you guys have done to expand rocm and AMD support has made me so excited that I'm going to nuke the Fedora installation I kept just for those bits on my desktop used for Blender (and gaming, I mean...). So stoked to have support for an RX 6700 XT GPU in Solus for Blender! Thank you all!

Installed the XFCE version on my really old Sony Vaio, seems to be nice and stable no issues so far. Thanks for creating this new ISO.

MrAiupov This is not the case, so far the default is one click.

The default always has been, and always should be, one click. If any Solus edition should be changed to make it more like Windows, it shouldn't be the edition that's advertised as "A sophisticated desktop experience for the tinkerers." I submit that "the tinkerers" refers to the Linux tinkerers.

I think all Solus editions, being Linux OSs, should default to acting like Linux, not acting like Windows, but if any edition needs to be more like Windows, please let it not be KDE Plasma.

ReillyBrogan

We tried to do the "double click by default" but it's really not easy to do in Plasma 5 without changing it for every single user who has Plasma installed and who never changed the setting. Since Plasma 6 itself changes that default we decided to just hold off on it until then.

Just XFCE first impression live (Excellent)
Will let know more after install and setup and tweaks gotta have them.
Think I will like it better than Budgie
My yoga started working again go figure Its getting XFCE installed on it anyways
Thanks all for the excellent hard work.

WetGeek

Axios Think I will like it better than Budgie

Heh ... I already do. It allows me to create enough virtual desktops to fit my daily workflow, and that alone would
make it work better for me than Budgie. My DEs, in order of best to worst: Plasma, Xfce, Budgie, and GNOME.

Axios I'm doing this now--bare metal alongside another install. Will report back.

no way Budgie makes 3rd on any list🙂

Not for you, and I respect that. After all, Plasma is much too complicated - too many settings. Too configurable.

The worst Budgie could do for you would be second place. 🙂 You should definitely give Xfce a shot, though. I've noticed while doing an update that it's amazingly fast. Noticeably so.

Thanks for the New Release, guys. Solus is one of the most polished distributions to recommend for desktop. I reposted the release blog post in Persian, for local users over here

WetGeek . After all, Plasma is much too complicated - too many settings. Too configurable.

Plasma is too configurable...it is 100% tinkerer distraction for a mind like mine that should be more productive...🙂.

To me I'd install Plasma and spend 10 days making it look and behave like Gnome in every window and way. Tear out the kde framework and bring in gnome-shell. I would out-configure Plasma to the nth degree simply because it's daring me to...heh.

I finally had time tonight to remove all the Solus 4.4 torrents from Transmission on my server, and replace them with the four Solus 4.5 torrents. They immediately started seeding like crazy. I'm tempted to see if I can start a couple more instances of Transmission on that rather robust machine and seed even more. I'll find out tomorrow.

After writing that post, I found rTorrent in our repository, and found out that I can run multiple copies of it in a terminal, and I can run multiple terminals, each in their own workspace. So I'm excited now. It uses ncurses for a UI, and it's written in C++, so it will be very light on resources. All I need to do is learn how to set it up and use it.

I realize there will be a learning curve involved, but I'm encouraged by that opportunity, and as I write this, I'm printing out a copy of the rTorrent manual. I'm really looking forward to getting that machine humming, cranking out copies of all four Solus editions. I'll keep using Transmission until I have rTorrent up and running.

The applet WeatherShow in Budgie still works crookedly - the applet setting works slowly - DE Budgie may freeze for 1-2 minutes. What is the problem? In the applet?
