SOLUS_INVICTUS

Did I made a mistake or my post has been deleted by moderator ? if yes why ?

_What a so good news ! I planned this week-end to sadly uninstall all my Solus desktop ...
Solus needs urgently an upgrade ( App obsoletes and Kernel with safety issues ) we cannot use anymore Solus without major safety risks...
Do you have planned an fixing minimal update in emergency ? or is it better to use another distro as ultramarine or garuda and to wait for Solus 5 ?
I'm using Solus with Citrix & for Dev purpose and I spent huge time to replace eopkg App with FlatPak one but even FlatPak has now update issuses with Solus ( I've RedHat dev licence but it is not the same UE ).

Thanks again for the good news_

      read a little bit around here. they've addressed this daily since the site has been back up. they are on it and it will be soon and there is urgency attached to it

      SOLUS_INVICTUS or is it better to use another distro as ultramarine or garuda and to wait for Solus 5 ?

      seems half the users found other distros and are being patient and the other half stuck it out. I don't know how to quantify 'better.' personally I think you should keep Solus and be patient a little longer. you already have, you said, Fedora to fall back on.
      2 cents

            I can see your earlier post just fine. Read the comments above yours regarding updates.

                You are right,
                I said is it better to use antother distro and I did not said better distros but it is easy to find better distros for specific purpose : a distro's choice depends of the use you need of it.
                For instance,
                if I need macchanger, full ifconfig, ... I will not use Solus as these are absent but ultramarine ( this is my case with Pantheon DE ),
                if I need Prof solutions I use RedHat or SuSE Linux enterprise ( that is my case for both ),
                If I need universal distro I'will use Arch Linux as Manjaro, Garuda & Arcolinux or Intel Clear Linux OS ( that is also my case I do use now only Manjaro and Intel Clear Linux OS )

                But If need a very simple, very light but very cool and very fast starting and user friendly distro I will use Solus Budgie.

                My question was that I'm now compelled to transfert all my Dev to antother PC

                To be frank with you I'm answering to this post with this distro

                    SOLUS_INVICTUS I said is it better to use antother distro and I did not said better distros but it is easy to find better distros for specific purpose : a distro's choice depends of the use you need of it.

                    OK, please forgive me. I mis-read you. You seem to have a plan (and an a**load of concurrent distros. I only run one.) So if you need that cool, light distro I would still advise to wait for Solus and not move data if it was me.

                      Staudey That is, did I understand correctly, the Solus developers are not kicking us out of their infrastructure? )
                      If so, let me know if I can be of any help. For example, I can test accessibility support for blind users of the new installer, or any other Solus components.
                      I could also take part in the translation into Ukrainian, but I have a feeling that we will have to do some research. The thing is, the last time I interacted with WebLate, I really didn t like it in terms of user experience. Crowdin showed himself to be the best. But if we do end up using WebLate, I ll try to investigate it again.
                      Simply put - when I talk about changes in the context of accessibility, I also mean the integration of blind users into the development of Solus, not just software support requests.

                          bmivzkrp No. How I interpreted the blog post is that they are looking forward to enable community involvement and engagement even more than before.

                            Lucien_Lachance "During this transition period, despite being two separate projects, we're both heading to a common goal and interest...We have an exciting journey ahead for all of us, and there are many moving parts involved. Until we're at the point of mutual merge, we will keep the entities and billing separate. Thus, funds to the Solus OpenCollective are intended for use within Solus, whereas we currently use GitHub Sponsors for our own project needs.

                            Currently Solus and Serpent OS share one server, which was essential for quick turnaround on infrastructure enabling. At the end of this month Serpent OS will migrate from that server to a new, separate system, ensuring the projects are billed separately.

                            !! Now that the dust is settling, we're focusing on Serpent OS requirements, and helping Solus where we can. Our immediate goals are to build a dogfooding system for a small collection of developers to run as an unsupported prealpha configuration, allowing us to flesh out the tooling and processes. This will include a live booting GNOME ISO, and sufficient base packages to freely iterate on moss, boulder, etc as well as our own infrastructure."

                            Nice find, Lachance. That was just part of the dispatch. I love learning more and I have a good feeling about this partnership. Real excited for the future of Solus.

                              so you can read that as all builders/developers are using the same linux build or original build on their home machines?

                                  elfprince thanks for getting back and for the definition. dogfooding sounds like it brings some uniformity to approaching a project. everything after that over my head🙂

                                    This is great news! Thanks to everyone involved in keeping Solus alive and for carrying it forward.

                                    I switched over to tumbleweed last week and now this! Looking forward to Solus V. I swear then I'm back in that boat. 😃

                                    Solus is by far my best rolling release experience . Happy that it will alive, healthy, and growing.
