Known issues

  • GNOME: Cursor may be blurry when mousing over GTK4 based applications when display scaling is enabled.
  • GNOME: Snapshot camera preview can be laggy on some webcams.
  • GNOME: The new GTK4 renderer may not work well with very old GPUs. You can set GSK_RENDERER=gl in the environment to use the old renderer.

    Congrats to the introduction of the MIME types file. Already tested it. If you now install caja or decibels or whatever, guess what, nautilus remains default file browser now. Yay!

    fixed with:
    sudo eopkg rdb

    EbonJaeger 151 packages, long reboot, some apps sluggish out of the gate, but now cooking along fine.
    I couldn't find any info at BoB about the budgie upgrades I just installed; could you point me in the right direction? thank you.

        brent Any Budgie updates would only be rebuilds for updates in other programs. For example, Budgie Control Center was rebuilt against the new Samba update.

          Updates went nicely. I'm really enjoying the new Gnom, and glad to see that they've made the top panel and some icons smaller. I like it more that way. Big thanks to the Solus team 🙂

          Updates went without a hitch. GNOME 46 is working good so far with no problems to report.

          EbonJaeger Handbrake and FFMPEG now work with Intel QuickSync on Tiger Lake and later GPUs! There is a slight catch, though. vpl-gpu-rt needs to be manually installed

          Not in any big need yet but will this be automatic in the future still use windows for this as my machines use quicksync. Havent crossed the thresh hold as of yet.

          Nice to see it in Linux.

              Axios maybe, I haven't decided yet. The packages involved are not very big and don't do anything unless you have compatible hardware and use a quicksync-compatible application. They could easily be installed by default when someone installs one of those applications. BTW, I'm not very familiar with applications can use Intel quicksync. If someone thinks a particular application is compatible but it doesn't work on Solus please open a github issue for it.

                  all good except conky, was it compiled without lua this time? it wont show hands on my analogue clock

                  conky: llua_do_call: function conky_draw_clock execution failed: /PATH/TO/scripts/clockadaptagreen.lua:18: attempt to call a nil value (global 'cairo_xlib_surface_create')
                  note: path edited to remove my username, the path is correct

                    All went well except for Evolution that doesn't want to start anymore 🙁

                    Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks!

                    I'm seeing some weird kerning on some typefaces on some websites in Firefox today, after updating yesterday. Example:

                    "No ti fica tions" is especially bad... I guess "fi" and "ti" form ligatures but it doesn't explain some of the other stuff.

                    ReillyBrogan Ok
                    I use shotcut it can use Quicksync will check some others out and like stated handbrake can use it.

                      I experience the same font problems as @synth-ruiner , not only on firefox, but brave as well. First time I have a complaint since I installed solus in 2016 ! keep up the good work.

                        Sync went great, i must again say how happy I am that i found this distro.

                        170 packages updated on Budgie. All uneventful = great work by the Solus team. 🙏

                        I had the font kerning issues too during testing, but they went away after a few reboots.
