Justin Thanks for the correction, knew they were different.

Justin Any chance that Budgie 11 is going to have it's own login manager? I just wish we could stop depending on stuff developed on gnome so much.

Fatih19 Budgie doesn't use the Gnome login manager. GDM is only used by the Gnome edition of Solus. Also there is already lot of things to do for Budgie 11.

The more is added in the Budgie 11 roadmap, the longer it will take to have it released... just saying...

kyrios If you're going to rewrite the whole thing, might as well make it good. I wouldn't mind if Budgie is released next year. As long as it's worth the time you've taken IMO it's fine.

My appreciations to Solus Team, Frankly speaking Solus got me addicted after installation. After 3weeks of tedious testing with different distros to get a snappy and responsive system. I accept Solus is snappy and good for my AMD A9 Acer laptop. Though i love Deepin for its elegance and Gnome DE. But i had to take a U-Turn to Solus Budgie DE and have to accept what team is giving to community is good. I would suggest Solus developers to explore best practices be included in Solus. Stop redundancy and complexity like KDE or other DE make each and every icon or menu meaningful. Live with KISS concept.Chau

Fatih19 Using someone else code isn't a bad thing (especially if it's have the same goal or can be easily integrated). Solus Budgie actually use LightDM for the login manager and we can customize the look for Solus by implementing our own LightDM's greeter later.

short upgrades better than long wait.

I just wanted to say that this version pretty much made it possible for me to switch fully to Linux (especially gaming wise). Thank you for this distro, it is VERY MUCH appreciated. It runs smooth on my desktop PC and everything works from the start. Keep up the good work!

dostana Wasn't my decision to rewrite Budgie. If the changes are drastic enough, long wait is worth it. That's what I was saying.

Joined forum to make this post as new arrival to Solus. Chronic distro hopper here, been waiting for a new Solus before test driving it. Running now off live USB as I write on older ACER Travelmate 5735z, 4Gb ram. Everything worked straight away, wifi, sound, plays YT vids and FAST. So impressed I am gonna wipe a freshly setup MX and go for Solus install. Thanks! 😁

Naythan Welcome!

Hey JoshStrobl, do you plan a new release soon with new fresh ISOs after the last sync stabilized? I would like to perform a fresh installation soon, and I think it's better to wait a bit if there will be fresh ISOs soon.

FunkyloverOne We don't give ETAs.

FunkyloverOne After the fresh install, the update is only around 700 MB, so not much of a problem

FunkyloverOne

JoshStrobl right 😃 OK, won't wait then, thanks

dbarron

Since we had fresh ISOs about a month ago, I wouldn't expect any more for quite some time.

I reinstalled Solus few days ago, and the update was around 600MB. To be on the safe side I updated from tty.

Been using the KDE Plasma myself for a few months and I couldn't agree more.....not a single issue...none, since I started using it, and trust me I've been playing around a lot!
I started using Solus (Budgie) 2 years ago or so, but for whatever the reason, I feel more comfortable using KDE, so I jumped to it, even it was being said still in beta/testing, and it's been solid like rock all this time.
Solus is the best desktop distro. by far. These guys are doing an amazing work, and I can just show my gratitude and appreciation.
Thanks guys
Juan.
