brent It seems to be working fine, no difference in picture quality, no distortion or jerkiness in videos so far.

    MikeK61 I really don`t understand this every week updates.
    For me it is ready when it is ready.

    That's the way it works elsewhere. During the three months of the Solus Troubles, I used two other distros, Sparky Linux and Siduction OS, both with the Plasma DE and both configured the same way I configure Solus Plasma. Both are Debian-based, and both are at least semi-rolling releases. I could almost forget that that I wasn't using Solus, but neither of those had the Solus Forum, so they just didn't feel like home to me.

    Anyway, they both received updates frequently and at various times, not according to any set schedule, but just when things became available. A popup notification (like Solus') would let users know that there were upgraded packages available, and users could decide whether it was a good time to update, or we would rather wait a while.

    Solus could easily adopt such a scheme. It would totally releive any undue pressure on the dev team. It would not affect Solus' "rolling release" reputation. It wouldn't prevent us from an occasional milestone release (like Solus 4.4, for example). And since everyone would be notified whenever there are upgraded packages available, that would totally elimate our collective anticipation of a sync every Friday and disappointment when it doesn't happen on Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday ...

        WetGeek I have no doubt, in the growth plan going forward, that all automated updates of things that get fixed or patched daily will likely occur in Solus. All to come and I'm also sure all things like that are on the table.
        Even Fedora is daily or 'as they come' as you say.
        Right now we do extensive testing on each updated package and the final yea/nea goes thru 1-2 people. This is a proven system so far and more suited for a team all over the planet with jobs and lives outside Solus. RHEL (Fedora) and Debian are virtual nation states with fulltime crews.
        I'm sure Solus updates will evolve to a more consistent model eventually, Baby steps.

          In this debate on the information of users concerning Solus updates (quite understandable), it should also be remembered that Solus is a volunteer project, not a company as Beatrice wrote in a post of 01/26/2022 . The seriousness and professionalism of development and management teams are no longer to be demonstrated. Perhaps, we should also meditate on a cardinal virtue in the Far East : patience... 😉

          Updated this morning. As soon as the update finished, I was kicked to the log-in screen. Logged back in and none of the programs I had open were running anymore. Restarted and everything appears to be fine, but as this is not common behavior and for me has not happened before, just wanted to report. I appreciate everyone's work on this distro. I'm using the Plasma edition.

          WetGeek Forgive me if I misunderstood you but, for me, I installed Solus with the Budgie desktop and when updates are available, I receive a popup informing me of their arrival and so, I don't not need to go and check if they are here.

              penny-farthing I don't not need to go and check if they are here.

              I'm not suggesting that you should do anything differently than you now do.

                  ikey With the valuable assistance of yourself. Thanks again!

                    I have just update my system Solus with 16 packages (315.59 MiB).
                    But I noticed that Solus had moved to version 4.4:

                    administrateur@solus-pc ~ $ lsb_release -a
                    LSB Version: 1.4
                    Distributor ID: Solus
                    Description: Solus
                    Release: 4.4
                    Codename: fortitude

                    And nothing reported since (for my part) : congratulations to the whole team ! 😃

                      penny-farthing same here. Budgie. 17 packages. reboot. cool. Observation: Budgie not getting many updated packages lately. KDE is getting a ton. Just the way the worm turns.

                          brent same here. Budgie. 17 packages.

                          Actually, the prior update changed us to 4.4, but it wasn't announced and most folks didn't notice it. That's why I called it a "stealth" update in another thread. Today's little update is the first one in 4.4.

                            I would be happy just to get past the downloading eopkg index..lol

                            If I wait a day after it comes out it will update dont ask me why when or how
                            Just does.
