Linux world has arrived to Kernel 5.0, Mesa 19.0, GNOME 3.32 - in my humble opinion, Solus 4 shouldn't be released without these very important new improvements.

    and i also hope with default hardware acceleration support in the browsers

    crom5 These are just numbers... There aren't more changes between the kernel 4.20 to 5.0 than there were for version 4.19 to 4.20. And regarding GNOME, it will be upgraded after Solus 4 (for Budgie 10.5.1 / Solus 4.1) as explained on the 2019: To Venture Ahead blog post.

      I've said it so many times before : be patient. Solus 4 will come, Budgie 5 will come, Gnome 5 will come. It won't change the world. You will keep the same fantastic system as all the years before. And I know what I am talking about, I use Solus allready from day 1. It will all become in time.

        Why would we even go from Budgie 10.5 to Budgie 11 to Budgie 5? 😄

        I do not care about the numbers, whatever you name them. I only care about the impatience. That's all.

          JoshStrobl, maybe we want confuse them, numbers out of sequence and all 🙂
          I was thinking this morning about the numbers, and why it thrills me to see them roll. I came to a very strange conclusion, that I apparently like downloading large amounts of data and seeing change. This make absolutely no sense, but it's the conclusion that I came to. I mean, I prefer real upgrades that provide bug fixes and new features, but part of me just wants the data to roll.

          I know it won't be released with Solus 4, but are there any news about the Plasma release ? I feel like it's been a while since I heard anything.

            Now I start wondering... perhaps there were some guys keeping on asking to Microsoft devs when will Windows 4 be released... after some time they found a way to solve this problem: 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, ...

            And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And one day a Microsoft Engineer decided to put some order in the version numbers : 7, 8, 8.1 but then some evil users started harassing them again asking when version 9 will be released... As a revenge, he decided version 9 would never be released and now Windows will remain in version 10 forever !

            So you all who keep on asking when version 4 will be released, do you realize all this mess was caused by you !!!??

            You care about it way more than Core Team does. Turn it down a notch bud.

                Kvothe, it's my understanding that the team has been working toward Sol 4 and Budgie 10.5*. I believe I saw it stated that Plasma work would get more resources after that.

                I don't care if you guys put another couple of 9's behind the version number. Might as well just call it Solus and have updated images every once in a while, like summer 2019 for example. That being said i would love to see the kernel 5.0 and mesa 19.0 but that's because i ordered a Radeon VII and it's recommended to have the latest and greatest at this point 😁

                  Spoiler: they jump straight to 5

                  As sad as it makes me, I have to agree with Kyrios 😅, it's just gonna be a particular release that gets assigned a number. There may be some milestone component in it, or it may be 'Today, I feel like Solus should be 4.0'. Take it for what it's worth 🙂
                  I will still get a moment of joy when the bootloader menu shows 'Solus 4.0' or 'Solus 4'.
