I don't like messing around with setting up the working environment, but I want it to be pleasant to me. Therefore, I love Budgie. Everything I need is here. No need to install a bunch of addons.

I like the operating system to be fast and not overloaded, simple and at the same time efficient. That's why I love Solus. Thanks for another great release.

OK, I am going to post this even though I KNOW its a stupid question and already know the answer (since Solus is a "rolling release" model).

If you do a fresh install of v4.3...will you have the exact same system as if you have v4.2 with all updates?

    Yes. I asked that same question a long time ago, and that's the answer I got.

    In fact, a few times when I was creating a virtual machine, and a Solus 4.2 .ISO file was handy, I'd start with that. After the installation, a simple update would make it a current 4.3 installation.

      ncdivebum As far as packages go, yes. But if any default configurations were changed between, say 4.2 and 4.3, you may have differences in configuration. I hit this a few times as my Solus install is about to hit 5 years old now. Here's an example:

        I love this Distro it's my fav but I cannot seem to get all the apps in Dark Mode even if it's set in the settings? Any help? (I.E. Apps like Calendar and Calculator are white)

          Try with dconf editor (available in the software center),
          go to: /org/gnome/desktop/interface/color-sheme
          and choose 'prefer dark' and apply

          Maybe log out/in or reboot needed after, I don't remember.

            I have decided to stick with the Mate distro. I really like the functionality and it's fast and pretty.
            I am using a Dell Inspiron 15-5567 with 8 GB memory, 230 GB ssd and CPU at 2.5 Ghz.
            I would like to suggest that there be a list of usable commands for eofkg.
            If there is a list please point me to it.
            Kudos to the Solus developers.

              Happy 2023. This thing is still a rock. I've put it on many a noobz machine. Not one single issue.

              JoshStrobl And... when can we expect the release of the 4.4 Budgie-Nemo version? Or if you have a pre-release link...? It would be my pleasure to test it... Thank you.
