Nice to see you again. 🙂

I resigned 18th October 2022 and have been using EndeavourOS since (Not working there or active in their community).

    So nice to have the crew back onboard 🙂

    Both Budgie and Gnome PC's ran flawlessly during the storm. Never gave up on Solus.

    Nice to see some long term users 👋

    I would like Solus' maintainers to know they have done great work over the years. Package-level maintenance has always met the ideal of the curated rolling release and I have never had any reason to doubt the competence and effort of the individuals who do this work. I also have the sense that some Solus team members feel they will be blamed for the recent disruption. I personally do not hold people who have no power over high-level decisions responsible for those decisions. I also appreciate Staudey communicating on Reddit during that time, without which I would have had no idea what was happening at all.

    As for the future, the plans outlined seem logical and in fact terrific, as well as the people involved. Solus has been a great distro, and looks set to be great in future as well. Best wishes to the team!

    I pulled up footage from outside your house this morning. Think I found out where it went. 😛

      JoshStrobl I have been waiting, Happy beyond words, for this event. I volunteer to send Coffee when available! I have kept the faith this OS would have a future. 🙂

        Fantastic . This news makes me very happy.

        It's fantastic, I'm so happy for this OS, can't wait to see the future of Solus

        I've been testing other distros, but kept Solus Budgie on my production computers. Nothing compares to it.
        A big THANK YOU to the team for this very, very good news ! I'm all in for this journey !

        I heard there was some interesting $#%$# going on over here so I decided to poke my head in @JoshStrobl - I also got an email saying my account was unsuspended which I thought was interesting.

          Justin Yea been going through and trying to make sure accounts that were disabled for one reason or another are re-enabled.

            Hate to be That Guy (but someone has to be, sooner or later) but I have to ask: when can we expect to get the first package updates of the "new" Solus ?
            Rebuilding an infra more or less from scratch is not easy in the least, but those updates are loooooooong overdue.....

            Re: Weekly updates, just a question.
            The weekly update feature of Solus was part of the 'Old' (for want of a better word) structure.
            In the unchartered waters ahead is it the intention to follow this tradition, or will updates come as and when required, regardless of what day in the week it is.
            Im just assuming that Solus is going to still be a curated rolling release but what with the proposed Solus user repository happening sometime, will updates appear on a more frequent basis. Say along the Manjaro route?

              seanragout for now "all bets are off" while we get everything back up and running. Ideally we'd get back to a more structured sync window - but with the tooling in the position it's currently at I think it'd be a lot to expect the syncs to increase when things settle down. This is something we'd want to solve for Solus V.

                  Solus V made me think of Saturn V, which is accurate to compare to:

                  • Very reliable
                  • Way above others
                  • Nothing can compare to
                    🙂

                      Yay! Glad to see Solus back! Are we going to get package updates soon?
