I havent had a Solus to update for 2 or 3 years. Fixed that today in a local coffee shop. Being responsible today, first thing I did was run SC update, twice. Both times I noticed the disparity. Going back to using EOPKG up, apparently on a temporary basis.
However, I am back on Linux, on a new and fairly nice laptop that I have never even booted to MS malware. It was a good day.
