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 🙂

          installs gnome software
          waits forver for it to show anything
          disables flathub
          waits
          notices it doesent find anything from the solus repos
          notices that horrible carousel thing
          uninstalls

          not a dig at solus devs (they rock)

            yeah I reported last week here that many repo programs were not visible in gnome software. Was told it was an indexing glitch that they were aware of. But I don't use gnome-software so no harm, no foul.


              Bonsoir a tous !!! mésa ok good work
              merci beaucoup

              brent yeah I reported last week here that many repo

              Where did you report it? Report only counts if it is on issue tracker.

              Lucien_Lachance notices it doesent find anything from the solus repos

              What do you mean by "anything" ? Is stuff like Firefox and Thunderbird not visible? If that's the case, please report it on issue tracker.

              brent Was told it was an indexing glitch that they were aware of.

              If it is about non-GUI package, it is not a glitch at all. It is a design choice by upstream (KDE and Gnome), non-GUI app is not visible in those software centers. If it is about GUI package not visible, it is about appstream metainfo missing (I talked about this in Contributor Roundup everytime). If it is other things, please make sure you report it on issue tracker.

              Thank you. Cheers!
