Modern operating system for consumer-grade systems.
Didn't catch our latest roundup, featuring Software Center changes and a sneak peek at upcoming changes to Budgie? Check it out at https://solus-project.com/2018/06/26/software-center-progresses/ #Solus #Budgie #Linux
#Solus 3 and Budgie 10.4 are now released! https://solus-project.com/2017/08/15/solus-3-released/
Ikey taught Budgie menu a new trick! If you disable category headers, it'll only sort by name. If they're enabled, it'll sort by group & name.
Additionally if you stick it into "super compact" mode, i.e. compact & no headers, it'll hide any duplicates.
He also ported Brisk Menu search + sort logic, so the old re-sort has been drop-kicked so that the menu can just show logically scored items.
Budgie's Alt+Tab will now prefer the theme icon instead of the X11 icon where possible. No more ugly icons messing up your screenshots! https://mastodon.cloud/media/eeGgCQ2f5pH86OBGZac
*Whistles innocently*
Thanks to the awesome work by Peter O'Connor we now have Qt 5.9 in Solus (actually it's been there since last night).
The theming issue in Qt 5.9 (Gtk styling removed in 5.7) has been resolved in Solus by shipping qtstyleplugins as an update alongside Qt 5 to that apps continue to look and feel native on the GTK desktop experiences.
Let's kick tonight off with a 4.9.32 kernel shall we :) https://mastodon.cloud/media/LMM9A2Z21adYBl7eJ1A
Now, I'm no expert here, but I reckon Peter O'Connor (sunnyflunk) is up to something...
Syncs done. Loads of stuff, such as Firefox 54.0, fixes for LibreOffice CPU usage, GNOME MPV 0.12, and Moar ™
There are gonna be two, count em, two repo syncs tonight to Shannon!
First one in a few minutes from now, and one later on tonight.
HUGE news about Solus development and the team!
Alright folks - we're now looking to sync stable shortly - all testers on unstable please confirm things are looking good for you too and then we'll start rolling out 👍 https://mastodon.cloud/media/0Cl6tZPFZtmIYq2UejA
As of today, ypkg now supports profile guided optimization for clang package builds! Just set "clang: yes" and provide a "profile" step to run your workload, and ypkg will do the rest. https://mastodon.cloud/media/_W19pFOeFcm4FTQO5LY
Some of the stuff to land last night: llvm/clang 4.0 and Mesa 17.1.1 https://mastodon.cloud/media/Vucp7bdBvXgGjOsD1CI
Welcome aboard the official Solus core team to Stefan Ric (aka @cybre as the "Budgie Right Hand Man" !!
Stefan has been responsible for a lot of Budgie improvements and applets, and together, we're gonna make Budgie Great Again (Budgie 11, like.).
Awwwww yea, looks who's up in all this Mastodon business. That's right, the Solus Project. - Joshua
