@evert Nothing? The No tag is just my response to the overarching question on "Do we have an ETA / what is the ETA on 4.2?"

The original countdown I had was more of a "this is an optimistic timeframe on when we'd like to get it released" but we're all volunteers, we all have work (in my case my own start-up), etc.

For first time viewing your website is still showing Blog post from February, relating to 4.1 update.

Yes, this is how websites work 😉 You don't remove blog posts about releases just because there is a new release out or upcoming. And blog lists don't change unless a new blog post is out. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your question / statement?

    No, but I am so sick about those ETA's. Solus (Gnome in my case) works allready for years perfectly. And after every update better.
    You and friends work like idiots for us. They should be gratefull and NOT impatient.

      JoshStrobl in my case my own start-u

      These are tough economic times. Wishing you the best of luck with the startup! I've been part of two of those, and still remember keeping my sleeping bag under my desk.

          It's alright, we're used to the question and don't really get worked up about it. I don't think @gozo was at all saying they weren't grateful for the work the community does on Solus, just simply asking when the upcoming release would be out.

          Outside of it reducing total upgrade package sizes and enabling OOTB support for more hardware, there's very little benefit to actual releases for Solus seeing as we're a curated rolling release operating system. They're more used by us as milestones to indicate "xyz should be done", and obviously for marketing reasons (getting more people adopting Solus never hurts).

          Once @DataDrake and I are done with sol + ferryd and we have more compressed delta packages (eopkg files which only contain the changes between two or more package updates) realistically Solus ISO releases would only benefit initial OOTB hardware support and the continued serving as milestones for certain features, stack upgrades, etc.

          what is your start-up? is there a way to join?

          I agree that the Solus team are doing a great job, and I think it's long overdue that they create some way to accept donations for their efforts.

            JoshStrobl DataDrake @evert Thanks for the reply. Definitely not ungrateful, as the matter of fact quite the opposite and I am recommending Solus to all my contacts. I asked about the new version ISO because I have new Dell XPS 13 that had trouble installing 4.1. Also, it was buggy and freezing on new Razer Blade 15 Advanced. So I was just eager to see package updates in that regard that it may fix above mentioned new equipment compatibility issues.

            As for Blog, on the main page there was notification in the bottom left corner notifying of "Solus News" or similar. When clicked it led to 4.1 Blog post, which is no longer that new. So I just reported that it shall be cut and as I see it is, so great!

            Best regards.

                DataDrake Yes, I've read that. But it's hard to believe there is no way to accept donations.

                  Well its true and it has been that way for the majority of the projects existence. Josh recently started accepting donations but it is not specifically to work on Solus. Just open source software in general which Solus may benefit from.
