JoshStrobl Congratulations mate and thanks for coming back with all due respect to the other team members who genuinely care about the Solus project
A New Voyage
Lucien_Lachance Yes Plasma is still on the agenda. @Girtablulu is busy with personal life so his KDE / Plasma maintenance has been passed on.
Finally, it is great to be back. Now it is time to use Solus again and can't wait to get the updated iso.
hai.
I printed this out and read all 6 pages. Interesting, Visionary. Partnership with Serpent intriguing.
Ha.... just noticed that I am still MintSpider in here, but SolusSpider is extremely happy!!!
Just Happy ... Ready for the journey captain.
congrats to all!
Fantastic news! Looking forward to the future of this project.
Lucien_Lachance don't worry I'll get the latest KDE/Plasma goodies to you ASAP. Got to make the best DE on Solus even better after all
ReillyBrogan awesome

OMG! I just installed Fedora for a replacement and this news came now...
Awesome news!
I'm not clear on what Serpent OS was trying to be. With Solus rebasing onto Serpent OS, will Solus retain its desktop-focused kernel?
After checking the date, I am happy to confirm its not the first of April today.
Josh & co; this is such great news, good to have Solus alive and kicking!

Hi. Serpent OS Dev and Solus Team Member here.
The short answer is "Yes".
The slightly longer answer (related to Solus 5.x/V) is that, as developers of Serpent OS, we will dogfood Serpent OS on our desktop systems and will likely build a specifically tuned desktop kernel for that purpose.
The Solus 4.x release series will obviously retain its current desktop-focused kernel configuration in the interrim, with the expectation being that both the Solus 4.x desktop kernel config and the in-development Serpent OS desktop kernel config will -- over time -- begin sharing specific settings and patches related to performance and responsiveness under load in desktop use cases (they share the same three kernel maintainers).
Once the Solus Team decides that the time is right to rebase onto Serpent OS for Solus 5.x/V, I would expect the two desktop kernel configurations to be essentially identical.
HTH.
I'm so excited to get back on the ship. Can't wait for the new isos. Solus is by far the fastest distro to boot.
SOLUSfiddler nice to see you, sir. I kept up with this mini-trainwreck since january but didn't want to create extra accounts as bad as i wanted to speak! Overhaul is right. I'm excited.
