Just Happy ... Ready for the journey captain.

Fantastic news! Looking forward to the future of this project.

Great, with you to continue the Solus advance. Thank you to the whole team🙂

Great to see the team back together!

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!

    Welcome back, Brent!
    So nice to see you posting here as one of the first after the overhaul!

        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.

            Looking forward to a prosperous future for #Solus 😃

            Really happy about this amazing news !

            By the way, do you plan to integrate nvidia optimus? It's a must have for laptops with hybrid graphics.

            A great big thank you to EVERYONE who made this happen, so so glad Solus isnt going anywhere except onwards and upwards.
            Feels a little strange writing in the forum after so long away, nice to see familiar names and just BE a part of the community again.
            I like all the exciting possibilities that seem to be comming along, SOLUS ROCKS

            Though I won't be returning to work on Solus now that I've found a home in Budgie and Arch, I'm very glad to see that Solus will continue under the stewardship of those that I worked alongside in the past. Best of luck to all of you!
