Have we an idea for the release of new ISOs and Solus V?

Solus_BLN

Great news! Thanks for taking over and relive this snappy distro! I hope you'll finally integrate fwupd - I would love this!

That s all great, but I wonder if there will be any changes, for better or worse, in the context of supporting accessibility for blind users?

Staudey

@bmivzkrp We unfortunately don't have any blind users on the team who could provide direct input, but we'll certainly try to incorporate suggested improvements. Thanks for your work in this regard in the past, by the way!

bmivzkrp

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.

JoshStrobl Solus is BACK!!!!! and after reading "A New Voyage" looks like it can be 'the' standard moving forward. Man, this is so exciting.

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

SOLUS_INVICTUS Like outlined in the blog post, Solus 4.x will still receive updates. They just need to get build-infra going.

https://fosstodon.org/@Solus/110233709927495393

Build to repo pipeline is now working! Huge team effort on this one, from tackling issues w/ solbuild to builder upgrades & configuration.

👏Ikey, Joey, Reilly, Staudey, Rune and myself (Josh).

TODO: CDN for repo. Get RIT to rsync from our repo. Lots of updates! Coming soon TM - Josh

SOLUS_INVICTUS 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 ?

A first wave of updates have already been build and synced between the (new, as yet not public) Unstable and Shannon/Stable repositories. As soon as we get mirroring to RIT running again the updates will flow

Thanks for you reply.
OK then nothing planned yet ... builging a solid infra takes many time ( or big money if course 🙂 )

"The first wave" Sounds great, assuming these updates would almost exclusively be for security and stabality issues?

SOLUS_INVICTUS

Staudey
Good news but hopping in short delay ...
I hope this wil fix my Solus' Issues ( clock not ok, no more brightness option in power since the last update but brightness setting still working from live USB, I need to use xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.7 to overcome it, ... ) I think that the lack of upgrade is the source of these issues ...
Best regards,

Staudey

seanragout Exactly! I have more than a hundred other updates also queued up locally, but have to hold myself back not to push them (yet), so we can keep this first sync small and fast.

seanragout

Staudey
Youre the man! as they say LOL. God you must be knackered i imagine, there cant be enough hours in the day.
A very heartfelt thanks though, appreciated all your remarks during the hiatus BTW.

Staudey

seanragout Most of those updates I readied during the long outage, so it's not like I packaged all of it just in the last couple days (though of course some rebuilds were necessary).

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

SOLUS_INVICTUS Solus 4.x will still continue. Solus 5 is an eventual long-time goal.

Staudey

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
