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.

        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.

              Hi y'all!
              Things a-happening!! Fantastic!
              Thank you so much for SOLUS, and let me tell you one of many reasons why I am thanking you:
              I have a sister who is living with MS. She can still walk and drive a car and do things that are normal to most of us but her balancing capacities and her eyesight have been quite corrupted by her condition.
              So, when my brother and I decided to give her a laptop with a big enough screen for her to watch movies on and to have as few problems with her eyesight as possible using it day in day out (we got her a refurbished Thinkpad T530) I decided to install SOLUS on it. My main concern was that she is not a technical kind of person and needs a rock-solid operating system that's both reliable and manageable by a person that has other worries than taking care of her computer.
              So, all she has to do is trigger her weekly update and there she goes!
              I can tell you that she has become a very happy laptop user, and even though she has no clue as to how and why it all works so well I would like to point out that not only is SHE now very happy with her laptop but I MYSELF am just as happy, and I am very grateful for you guys developing and taking care of the most wonderful operating system that I have tried.
              Thank you!

              It hurts me to see that someone hates Solus.

              If it doesn't work the first time, they can re-install it or try another flavour of Solus.

                  My earlier post mentions a problem with Plasma, wherein I was unable to add a workspace switcher to the panel, and I made it clear that it was a VM--I hadn't tried to install it on hardware yet. Now I have, and the problem's the same on a hardware machine. Damn shame, because I was really enjoying Plasma, and was ready to change my development machine from Budgie to Plasma, at least until I found some reason to return to Budgie.

                  I didn't realize I'd find that reason this quickly.

                    You've got me. Would you like some images of animals at the Seattle Zoo, or scenery in the US Pacific Northwest? If so, should I just upload some to the forum?

                      WetGeek after adding the workplace switcher did you reboot? I just added it on my notebook and it's working after reboot

                          Another observation after installing stuff today:

                          A while back I found out that Mate was't handling two monitors very well, and that hasn't changed with 4.1. My dev machine has two large monitors, one connected to VGA and the other connected to HMDI., I haven't been able to configure the displays. The wrong one is my primary display, and when I try to change that, the display settings dialog behaves badly. (The bad behavior is hard to describe, but if this is new information, I'll try to let you know more.)

                          After attempting to configure the monitors, one of them , one monitor displays garbage at the top of the screen, and is blank otherwise. I don't actually plan to use Mate on that machine, so it's not going to be a big problem for me, but I thought I'd mention it once more.

                          (I have Budgie, Mate, and Plasma installed on three SSDs that can be hot-swapped to boot that machine accordingly.)

                          Super excited about the addition of an official Plasma spin. Really well done!

                          Glad to see another version of Solus! Well done devs! Keep it up!

                          No. I didn't realize it was required. I'll give that a try on my dev machine tomorrow.

                          I just tried it on my Plasma 4.1 VM, and it's back to the problem I had a while ago: adding workspaces actually adds that many groups of identical workspaces (same contents in each). Rebooting doesn't clear that up.

                          EDIT: For example, if I change the settings to provide 6 workspaces, I get 6 groups of 6 workspaces. Removing one workspace from one group removes it from all 6 groups. I thought this was fixed, so it may be a regression.

                          I don't really need the Plasma VM for anything, other than experimenting with it, so if it works correctly on the dev machine tomorrow, I'll be a happy camper.

                            A very noob question, but can i install Plasma alongside Budgie just to try it out without breaking anything or reinstalling completely?

                              DNI_R i could be wrong but i believe they have said that that is not recommended. you could always play with the live usb
