A Quick Look At Solus 4.7 "Endurance"

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

      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

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

                  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 😅

                      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.

                        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!

                            5 days later

                            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.

                            Is this possible for gnome software center?
                            For KDE discover yes, but for gnome? I don't think so. Have never seen such switch...

                            Even though I'm just testing different versions of Solus, I already know that it's an amazing distro. Stable, fast.
                            The only problem I have is the lack of official packages for Proton services (Mail, Pass). They could give official tar.gz packages...

                            PS. Could you add official OPTIMUS support? Hybrid mode in laptops with NVIDIA + intel igpu? Please 🙂
