Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!
Our kernel packages have been updated this week. The mainline kernel is now at version 7.0.13, and the LTS kernel is at version 6.18.36.
KDE Plasma has been updated to 6.7.1. Plasma 6.7 brings powerful new features to KDE's desktop. Highlights include per-screen virtual desktops, a way to test your microphone volume, and press-and-hold for special characters. Check out the full release announcement here.
systemd has been updated to version 259.6. The full changelog is available here.
The Zulip desktop client has been added to the Solus repository this week. Zulip is an organized team chat app designed for live and asynchronous conversations. It combines the immediacy of real-time chat with an email-style threading model. This is the platform that AerynOS uses for communication.
Our tensorflow packages have been deprecated, as they are very hard to maintain, and only get updated during stack upgrades, like the recent Python 3.14 update. The packages also weren't very relevant for users, because we didn't provide CUDA/ROCm versions.
