Heya, folks! We have a surprise sync for you today! We decided to do an early sync so that we can land #Python 3.12, and give it an extended testing period. It is estimated that the entire Python stack will take over 24 hours to build, so the sooner it can start, the better.

Dinge, die #Microsoft dreist von #Linux Distributionen klaut:

1. virtuelle Desktops
2. Breeze Theme von KDE
3. Neu: Updates für das gesamte System

Warum solltet ihr die schlechte Kopie #Windows benutzen, wenn ihr das Original Linux benutzen könnt! Und das ohne Abo und Dreiklassenbenutzer.

#Solus, #openSUSE Tumbleweed, #Fedora sind tolle, funktionierende Distributionen, #KDE ein super benutzbarer Desktop.

(Achso, stimmt: die Spyware und Adware in Windows ist natürlich unschlagbar.)

Hey #Linux tinkerer,

What's your feedback after using #Solus as a desktop - compared to using Debian (un)stable - to do normies' stuff (like browsing Web, eMail, basic photo editing etc)?

Thanks.

Heya, folks! We have an update on #Snap and #AppArmor support in #Solus. We are holding off on our planned Snap support removal for now, as there has been recent progress in upstreaming the AppArmor patch set to the #Linux kernel. We still recommend #Flatpak, which has integration in GNOME Software and KDE Discover.

It's been a slow month in icon making. Some times you need to do something else, so you don't get tired of it.

Currently Plasma 6.3.4 setup on Solus with custom made icons (Inkscape) and AI generated wallpaper.

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore fait le test. Sur #solus Budgie, je vous invite à installer Discover.

Oubliez la bibliothèque d'origine et vous voici désormais avec un système qui gère les paquets Solus, Flatpak et même les firmware UEFI. C'est vraiment top d'être enfin à jour sur la totalité des paquets.

"Solus is an unusually stable, unusually simple to use rolling release distribution. Everything is pretty straight forward, everything works (at the lower levels), everything installed and updated smoothly."
(But choose your desktop!)
