Solus 4.1 Released

Scotty-Trees

Looks like I'll be attempting to move from GNOME to Plasma in the very near future so long as my nvidia drivers play nice!

Edit: Obviously congratulations on a sweet kick ass release!

I'm burning the Plasma ISO as we speak for a reinstallation. I'm very happy to see it available.

just took the plasma iso for a short live spin, dont have time for anything else right now

im very impressed, not only do i get a gui, but i get it in the correct 21:9 format as well. dont think ive seen that before with nouveau drivers, not with the 2070 gpu anyway

as for plasma itself, it looks and feels very nice. only odd thing is that kde and gtk apps look about as different as you can get them, but thats fairly easily fixed

so im giving it a score of 4.1 on a scale from 0 to 4.11
kudos to all involved!

I have already updated and am very satisfied - the system really flies on a 13-year-old computer!
Cool work guys. Bravo!
I wrote down an option with KDE on a USB flash drive and tomorrow I have a pleasant pastime - I will install a new OS on my laptop and experience it in parallel with other OSs.

Been seeding those 4.0 torrents for quite some time, close to a year i guess! Going to be hard letting go 😂

Hi Solus Team ! Amazing achievement and nice to see that you do not stick to deadlines. I installed Plasma version and everything runs perfectly with a RTX 2070. Plasma works like a charm. Thank you @Girtablulu. Just some tweaking, I prefer the taskbar with symbols, then it looks more like Budgie 😀. And nice wallpaper "Walking in the woods". Looks like the forest where I grew up.

Setting up 3 new VMs for my laptop. Most is going well. The only problem I haven't been able to solve is when trying to add workspaces to the panel in Plasma. Although I was able to do that in the testing version, I haven't discovered any way to do that here, and make them stay.

The panel needs to be edited before anything can be added, and I figured out that part. Then widgets can be added. But it must be kept open for editing or the workspaces disappear. Edit again, and they reappear. Stop editing, or select the "lock widgets" option, and they disappear again.

(Not allowed to edit the post I just made, so I need to reply to it.)

What I was trying to add: Note that this reflects trying to modify a VirtualBox VM. I haven't had a chance to do any installations on hardware yet. And where I said "The panel needs to be edited," I meant to say "The panel needs to be opened for editing".

Thanks for the sneaky and absolutely gorgeous Solus 4.1.
Just enjoyed a very fast and amazingly smooth Budgie installation.
Kudos for the hard work, Solus Team.
I really appreciate Solus, an absolutely marvellous distribution. 👍

🙂 Hey, you almost tempted a hardcore Solus MATE user into downloading and installing Solus Plasma.

I know that the Plasma desktop is one of the most loved desktop environments in Linux (I wouldn't be surprised if large numbers of people are flocking to Solus with the intention of trying it out).

Thank you JoshStrobl & Datadrake for keeping Solus on the right track, thanks to all the awesome people who were involved, in making the release of Solus 4.1 possible, i really appreciate all your hard work!
Thanks to everyone who package software for Solus, i feel very privileged to just update every friday, and get new versions of the software i use and enjoy.

I always follow all the work being done on dev.getsol.us, and continue to be amazed, by how much you guys get done from week to week. Then there is all the work going on in the background, that we will all benefit from later on.

Thank you for maintaining such a brilliant operating system, it is such a joy to use, and i really really like how my pc runs, when Solus is installed on it! 😃

Today, after all the updates, my Gnome worked (as usual) perfectly. Anyway, after a year, I decided that a new clean install would be a good idea. And indeed, it was a good idea. The installation was a piece of cake. But then : again extremely booooooooooooooooooooring. Everything worked AGAIN perfectly. But now seriously : congratulations guys. You have done a pefect job. 😄 😃 😃

What has improved now? The error messages during reboot have only increased!
What is the difference now except for blemishes?

So instead of reading the blog post which actually answers the questions you are asking, you expect us to summarize it even further and then insult us because you can't be bothered to read for 5-10 minutes? Completely unnecessary.

The number of debug messages at boot has increased because the kernel and systemd are reporting more information than they used to. Not really anything we can do about that. We have already dialed back those messages as far as they go. Disabling them altogether would mean not being able to debug the boot process when it does go wrong.

picnerd Have fun with the patchwork rug that you can't stuff anymore because you lack the manpower. I will deal with BSD.

No one is forcing you to stay here. Throwing a fit on your way out the door isn't productive either. We don't owe you anything, so acting entitled when what we have built doesn't meet your expectations is pointless.
