Getting an error on a fresh reinstall on Solus
Failed to start flatpak-enable-flat Add flathub flatpak repositories.
Only shows up on shutdown. This happens separate from installing the discover store. Nothing seems to NOT be working and enabling flathub on discover is a seamless thing with which I've had no issues. So no idea why the error is occuring.- Edited
Staudey So what is your point in all of this? If I'm going to monetarily support Solus. Then I'd simply like to know that I can use it as a daily driver and not worry that a year or two from now, it's going to completely shut down again.
Clearly we disagree on the subject of responsibility. That's okay. You have your opinion and I have mine. But I won't support a project if it's just going to die out. That's a headache I'm not willing to deal with. I'm not portraying Ikey as some evil person. There is a pattern of behavior though and that's a genuine concern. If you don't agree with me, that's okay
Half the arguments here could have been avoided by simply saying " hey, this project isn't going anywhere, here's why" but instead we have this

alfisya I do! I dual boot with windows. Came from opensuse tumbleweed. My question here was never intended to be antagonistic in nature. I'm genuinely concerned long term about what will happen to this project. You answered in a simple concise way that was not bashing the person asking the question. Thank you for that
I intend to move solely over to Solus, but only once 5 is finished
AlphaElwedritsch if you don't understand what I'm getting at, you clearly didn't read my concerns. My concern is that long term, Solus will go through another outage. That's what I'm getting at. Or potentially go under completely.
Harvey your saying because the people working on the project are also donating time and money that responsibility can just be shirked? I'm sorry, that's a really irresponsible thing to say. My point is completely valid. This is what led to the outage happening a year ago and Solus almost going under.
Can people just disappear? Absolutely, it's their choice. Is it a responsible one or an ethical one when money is being donated by people who aren't developing the project? Absolutely not!brent there is simply no maliciousness here. Do I think Ikey is an evil person? No! Course not. But looking at the facts, there is a pattern of leaving a project abruptly without notice. That's a genuine concern. It's important to not defend something based on our perceived love of a project but to look at the facts. Not bash the people asking these questions.

Alright so while reading through the blogs and various articles on Solus I've noticed something in the pipeline that I have genuine questions and concerns about.
It would appear that the outage in Solus from years past has happened more than once with the current Solus we know being completely different from a version of it in the past. That isn't the issue though. The restructuring of the team internally would obviously seem to indicate a sincere desire to prevent anything like this from happening again.
The problem I see is that with Solus rebasing onto serpentos, an os created by the very person that abandoned Solus to begin with, is in charge of serpent. This is not the first time said person has abandoned a project either. So even if Team Solus has restructured and is safe, what happens if the very OS they're rebasing to suddenly goes up in flames?
This is not intended to bash anyone, I'm genuinely asking what measures would be taken if something like that happened. I'd hate for an independent Linux OS to just up and die.
: Based on some of the responses here and to prevent further arguments, feel free to close down this thread. The question has been answered

Harvey fair enough!!! But I will point this out. Being that the Solus team is taking such awesome efforts to update the OS and migrate over to a new core to keep everything up to date, why not follow a similar principle with something like matrix? It is rather outdated, some people may be put off at signing up for something like that when they already have reddit, discord, Facebook, etc.
In other words, if you don't want to spread your wings far, why not dissolve something like matrix and add in discord which would Garner even more people, which could add to valuable support and contributions
If you look at it from a certain point of view, you could have potentially even less to manage. with discord, you could basically combine matrix and the forums here into one.
