Solus 4.7 Endurance Released

stocc

alfisya Thanks @alfisya. That's a pity. I've just installed Solus, partly because my previous distro had made some recent theming decisions which required me to edit css files to get it back to the way I liked it. I liked the look of Budgie in Solus, but I do like consistency, so I think I'll stick with the current software centre until such time as it's removed. Then, I guess I'll have a decision to make...

BTW ... during installation Calamares is displaying 4.6 which can be of some confusion for certain people.
Thanks for the fresh release

EbonJaeger

unclemez Where?

EbonJaeger I have the same in a existing Budgie in the boot up menu it says 4.6

Hi, here is an example:

adminsitrateur@solus-pc ~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Solus
Description:	Solus 4.7 Endurance
Release:	4.7
Codename:	endurance

and then, during the boot of my computer:

If it can help.

I installed Gnome Software Center, but I can NOT find it in the Budgie menu.. What can this be??

brent

Silversurfer it calls itself (simply) 'Software'

Silversurfer

OK, when I type Software, I only get the Solus Software Centre

If you say your red remove button looks just like mine, then you have it installed. Now my answer would be "that's weird, I don't know."
Maybe you need to reboot or logon/logoff to see the changes take effect?
all I got

Silversurfer

I found it! For some reason its called Appsenter

hard to believe my version is different than your version, but far out, you figured it out! congrats

EbonJaeger

The name is probably localized, hence the difference.

brent

EbonJaeger gotcha, thanks

sadnehs And I would like Wayland but that's probably minor.

Budgie 10.10 is scheduled to be released in in first quarter of 2025. And it is going to be wayland only.

sadnehs Really the only two things I'm missing is the hot corner in the top left of Gnome (the rest of Budgie is too good, I don't want to use Gnome on this distro). And I would like Wayland but that's probably minor.

What you say makes me believe that you would be very happy with the Plasma DE. All the happiness of Solus, plus the "hot corner" and Wayland. Not to mention, enough configurability to make it everything you could ask for, e.g., true fractional scaling that the GNOME-based DEs can't provide.

Thanks to this release I could finally install Solus on my new laptop which was affected by the nvidia issue.
Thank you very much!

Weirdly, the nvidia compatibility entry in the boot menu was not starting, but the debug entry did 😅

If i'm not mistaken clr-bootmanager did not update.
You will probably see 4.7 after next kernel update.

Thanks for your suggestion, I should have thought of it.

Finally, without waiting for the next kernel update, I typed the terminal command:
sudo clr-boot-manager update

and here is the result:

Cheers!

For gnome-software is there a way to disable the restart when it does an update? It even demanded a restart after updating discord a few days ago.
