Yes moss and a lot of other tooling from AerynOS as we said ages ago https://getsol.us/2023/04/18/a-new-voyage/

Harvey yeah, got it, my question was more like will be forked for Solus or just configs will solve all issues for Solus vs. Aeryn. Boot loader? Will Solus move to blsforme? Or file system, as I remember Solus doesn't support XFS but as I seen long time ago some tests with shown XFS is the best one for moss.

Or is it too early to even ask about it? 😛

Solarmass

what is moss?

Good overview of the tooling suite. Explains what moss is and the surrounding tools.

Solarmass No need to worry. This will all take a (very) long time.

I updated through terminal sudo eopkg upgrade successfully, Do I still have SC will disappear on the 24th or should it disappear with this update? and discovery or gnome software will appear with the new update on the 24th?

mkl

alec685 If you have not opted in manually, you have to wait until the 24th

mkl Okay, thank you

mkl Thank you. That's what I understoood, but I wasn't sure.

I will miss the Software Centre 🙁, for me it was part of the identity of Solus. I usually use eopkg commands when updating, installing packages, etc, but I use the SC when I want to check a package in the repo.

Regarding the last update, everything was fine with my three computers (2 KDE, 1 Xfce).

Cherry-picked usysconf-epoch to improve timeout behavior, and improve robustness to network failure.

EbonJaeger

Cherry-picked eopkg to go along with usysconf-epoch. While a smaller release, this version still has some exciting changes. eopkg check now has the ability to automatically reinstall broken packages, an incredibly long-standing bug where a package replacing an existing directory with a regular file would not be installable is now fixed, eopkg is now installable in a Python virtual environment, When a system has no repository, eopkg now automatically adds Polaris instead of Shannon, and lastly, when you attempt to add a repository which is broken or unreachable, eopkg now correctly returns an error instead of a warning. Check out the full release notes here.

BuzzPCSOS I am experiencing this issue (and my laptop is new).

I solved this by changing the kernel scheduler (I tested with scxctl) and fixed it with rusty. (The most for my laptop)

This is so very strange...

After 2d, I changed to the "rusty" scheduler, testing with scxctl switch -s rusty and editing /usr/share/defaults/scx_loader/config.toml to preserve the setting across reboots.

I think... it's a trouble with the flash scheduler?

You should not edit any file under /usr, it will be overrided in the next update. Copy the file to /etc and edit it there.

BuzzPCSOS

DinimixisDEMZ Still running stock scheduler here. After the initial anomaly everything is running smooth again. Happy to report that Solus is still awesome for me 😎

alfisya Got it, thanks a lot! 😁

Way too early.

alfisya

WhiteWolf Or is it too early to even ask about it?

Yes, too early. This question already got into technical details which is none set in stone. We are hoping/planning the migration will be a smooth as possible, as smooth as just a Friday Sync.

Clintre

alfisya

which is none set in stone

I see what you did there 😉

mkl

alfisya s smooth as just a Friday Sync.

Most of them 😉

Sebastian

The overwhelmingly vast majority of them!
