Week 21, 2026

EbonJaeger

Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup! There is a lot to cover this time around.

Our kernels have been updated for more fixes. The mainline kernel version is now 7.0.9, while the LTS kernel is 6.18.32. These kernels contain fixes for Bluetooth, and updated patches for the DirtyFrag vulnerability. Check out the changelogs here and here for more.

LLVM has been updated this week to 21.1.8, unblocking several updates, like a newer Rust. If you want to know what's new in this version, head over here.

Big day for KDE Plasma users! This week, we have Qt, Frameworks, Plasma, and Gear updates. Qt6 has been updated to 6.11.1. Go here to see what's new in 6.11. KDE Frameworks has been updated to 6.26.0. Plasma has been updated to 6.6.5. Lastly, Gear has been updated to 26.04.1 (see also the changelog for 26.04.0).

We've made it so that Budgie and GNOME control centers, Powerdevil, and QuickShell aren't forced to depend on power-profiles-daemon. This means that you can now use a different power daemon, such as TLP (tlp-pd). power-profiles-daemon will still be installed by default on all Solus editions.

Ardour has been updated to 9.5. This release brings major updates and new features including: Dedicated Pianoroll, Note Brushing & Strumming, Quick Duplication, Region FX, Live Looping & Clip Launching, Real-Time Perceptual Analyze, and more. Check out the changelog here.

Lastly, we have a bunch of new additions to the repository:

Syncthing Tray provides a tray icon and further platform integration for Syncthing. Syncthing GTK is already in the repositories but is geared more towards GNOME and GTK. Syncthing tray is a better fit for users using KDE Plasma as it has dolphin context menu support as well as a Plasmoid/Widget.
Foot is a fast, lightweight, minimalist terminal emulator built specifically for Wayland. It is DE-agnostic and focuses on low overhead and speed, especially in dependencies, disk usage, and memory use. It includes server/daemon mode, scroll-back search, keyboard-driven URL detection, user-configurable font fallback, on-the-fly font and DPI resizing, color emoji support, IME support via text-input-v3, multi-seat support, true color, synchronized updates, and sixel image support.
Aerion is a modern, lightweight email client inspired by Geary, focused on resource efficiency and a clean user experience. It supports Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and generic IMAP/SMTP, with conversation threading, rich text composition, contact sync, PGP/S/MIME, and multiple color themes. Built as a Linux-first app using Wails and Svelte, it avoids GNOME Online Accounts and uses direct mail access for a simpler, more self-contained setup. Keyboard-driven navigation and vim-style shortcuts make it a good fit for users who prefer fast, efficient workflows.
BlexMono Nerd font (font-blexmono-nerd) brings an alternative to the FiraCode Nerd Font with another popular style.

brent

for the first time I watched all this unfold in real-time on Matrix this afternoon/night (my time) and it changed my whole perspective. You are under-sung and at it around the clock…I already knew that but dang you are are noisy well-oiled machine for sure.

that said, updated, rebooted, kicked tires, and back to work. Thanks for all you do.

Jaredy899

Also, Faugus Launcher was added as well. A simple and lightweight app for running Windows games using UMU-Launcher.

paracetamol

The problem with graphical tablet input under GNOME which I posted about in a separate thread went away with this sync. Dunno if something was deliberately done to address it, but thanks regardless!

Xoph

Wow that was a big update, but went very fast. All good on my plasma systems. Also playing around with Niri and all good there.

CorvusRuber

The bluetooth issue has been fixed, but now there's another: haruna (and only haruna, other players from vlc to mpv work fine) cannot play any audio.

Harvey

CorvusRuber

FTR: Haruna works fine for me.

ForumPheasant

After trials and tribulations messing around with WMs, (me being lazy), good ol KDE is a nice return to home base. Much appreciated as always, and have a lovely weekend everyone!

CorvusRuber

Harvey

Strange, now it plays audio again. Don't know what happened.

Postnozet

I have an issue on my work computer with integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 after the update. I guess the issue is with new mesa?

bubba66

All 3 systems updated okay 🙂

2 x Gnome boxes

1 x Plasma (Dell laptop)

Thank you

carlberger

The systemd postgresql service was disabled after the update. Had to enable and start it manually. Never happened before. Otherwise everything works fine here ( KDE edition, tuxedo amd laptop )

edit: just now i see postgresql was updated in the sync. Is it correct that the service is disabled after an update ?

Pots

Hi everyone!

I saw that faugus is now included in the packages—that’s awesome.

I was wondering when the NVIDIA 595 drivers will be available? We have the 580s, and the 590s are currently in beta. The 595s seem to offer quite a few improvements.

Thanks, and congratulations on the great work!

Lucien_Lachance

huge update, no issues. thanks as always

penny-farthing
