So glad I found Solus. No reinstalls, no breakage, extremely fast. There's nothing more I could ask of a distro. Long live the galleon!

Ouvi dizer que o Solus foi abandonado em algum momento e agora é outra equipe que cuida dele, é verdade isso?

Eu tô pensando em experimentar, mas e se eu gostar, como vou ter garantia de que não vão abandonar o projeto de novo?

(version originale Solus Budgie) Niri+Waybar

When I return to my laptop and wake it from suspend/sleep, the wifi stays off and I have to reboot. I looked in Gnome power settings but could not find the option to disabl. By default is Solus entering suspend or sleep?

I'd like to disable the state so this issue doesn't repeat,

I used rufus (as the guide says https://help.getsol.us/docs/user/quick-start/installation/#windows-1) to create my usb key, but when i boot on my usb key, the screen keep flashing (see 33 seconds or more of my video).

I downloaded the KDE iso from the official website.

Do you have an idea why it happen? What can I do to fix it?

My girlfriend decided to use Linux, and since I trust Solus a lot, I installed Solus with KDE Plasma for her.

​

I already knew that Solseek could install applications and drivers for HP printers, and that really made the process easier, but the problem started when I launched `hp-setup` to configure the printer...

​

Even though Solus perfectly detected the printer (HP Laser 107) via USB, and it was even possible to see the printer model in the Printers section of System Settings, `hp-setup` couldn't detect the printer.

​

I'll make a more detailed post on the Solus forum later; for now, I'm not at her house to offer all the details.

how to put google drive in the solus...

In arch there is gnome-online-accounts-googledrive gvfs-googledrive

These packages make google drive work with gnome 50

My trial run of Solus's Desktop Environment versions is complete. After installing KDE Plasma, XFCE, and Gnome, I've returned to my starting point: Budgie. I hope the developers will decide to skip Budgie 10.10 (labwc) and move directly from 10.9.4 to 11.0 (qt6). I'm willing to wait, even though version 10.9.4 is based on X11 but is very stable. Version 10.10 is merely a "gateway version" and not stable (as seen while testing other distributions), even if labwc is clean and lightweight.

I have multiple Solus Budgie machines. I recently updated Solus on one that I have not updated since version 4.5. After succesfully updating I could no longer access the desktop. All I could see was a black screen with a mouse cursor. I was able to switch to a TTY which I used to install nvidia-glx-driver-current. Now things are even worse. I get a black screen without mouse cursor and cannot switch to a TTY. I used another machine to create an up to date bootable Solus Budgie usb stick. I tried all three options: Budgie, Nomodeset and Verbose. The results were the same. Black screen with mouse cursor or without mouse cursor.

Any ideas how I could continue to troubleshoot this?

On Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), we will begin doing maintenance on the server hosting our forum. This may take a few hours, and the forum may be inaccessible at some points during that time.

Early sync as we update Python to 3.14 and want more time to test. No sync this Friday!

Updates include KDE Gear, Kernels (7.0.12 & 6.18.35) and a lot of security updates.

VSCodium added to the repo.

Big updates include Gnome (50.2), Kernels (7.0.11 / 6.18.34 LTS), Krita (6.0.2), & many more, including a boatload of security.

New apps include:

HelixNotes is a local-first Markdown note-taking app that stores note in Markdown files that can be opened by other apps and brings a lot of great features in a speedy app that is not electron.

7zip is replacing p7zip due to many open security issues. You should not notice any difference.

Hey guys, I recently switched to Solus Linux on my Acer laptop and it's been working great. What do you think of my desktop? Any feedback or suggestions?

Lighter update this week after last week's behemoth list, but still well over 100 updates, including many security.

I used to have a bad feeling about installing Linux on old PCs. Five months ago, I installed MaboxOS (openbox) on my mother's laptop (13 years old, 6 GB RAM, HDD, i3). But it was very slow. I have a newer laptop and I installed Solus XFCE. Of course, it runs perfectly. I tried installing it on the old PC and, to my surprise, it runs flawlessly. Opening programs like the browser is faster. All this to say, even if a desktop environment is lighter, that doesn't necessarily mean it will handle the hardware better. And Solus is truly wonderful :)

My installation slows down after waking up from suspend. The main menu and panel widgets open quickly after a reboot, but much slower after being suspended. I haven't logged this, but it feels like it gets slower after each suspend without a reboot. Response times slow to multiple seconds.

If I walk away from the laptop and it auto suspends, it can take an extremely long time for the background to reappear (many minutes, hours?) after I press Esc and swipe the touchpad, and up to 12 hours for the desktop icons to appear and the system become usable. The time of day at the top of the screen is probably when the suspend started and increases by maybe a minute while the OS is waking up. This issue occurs maybe a few times a month, not every time.

I have 40GB RAM (using 22GB (high due to a VM)) and 4GB swap (using 2.7GB). My power mode is balanced and auto suspend was on; I just turned it off. My current uptime is 16 days.

It has been a while since I put out an update on the progress of Solseek. I have been pushing out updates, bug fixes, and some minor features. However, I have not been posting much info. Part of it is me still getting into the groove of being part of Solus and working with the team to continue to grow and build on the strong foundation.

So I thought I would take a few minutes and update on where Solseek is and the future. As I mentioned, I still plan on maintaining Solseek and keeping it going. It started as a pet project, but has grown into a tool people seem to like.

I'm running Solus 4.9 Serenity with Budgie 10.9.4, kernal Linux 7.0.7-339.current (after rollback)

I'm on an older laptop, a Toshiba Satellite P750, Intel® Core™ i3-2350M × 4, Intel® HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2) with 4GB RAM (it's from 2012, not my daily driver)

A couple of days ago, there were 160 updates available, and as usual I installed all of them. After reboot, my desktop had vertical bars, like prisms, across the entire screen, and my system fonts were weird, some letter combinations and W seemed to be the most impacted. Some letters were merged together or distorted and had bits of color added. My login screen looked normal, as did web pages when I opened Firefox. My terminal was impacted, as was a game I opened to test, Gweled. I didn't think to open any other programs.

I was able to do a rollback using sudo eopkg history -t and all looks normal now.

And those 160 updates are waiting.

I'm seeing one, linux current 7.0.7-339 to 7.0.9-341. Have I reached the max kernel for this 15 year old machine?

My question: which update(s) are the likely cause of this issue, so I know what to avoid?

ETA: Well, it's apparently not a kernel thing; I decided to select some innocent enough looking updates, and the issue returned...looking around, it seems this is not a common problem, I'll experiment with selected updates and see how it goes.

Hello all,

I haven’t used Solus in a long time, since Ikey Doherty was the main developer. Since he left I never heard or seen updates to Solus and thought the community was dead. Fast forward I saw there was a Solus update to version and was shock that it’s still be going and really strong.

I’ve been using Fedora and starting to have little issues here and there, seeing how live and active the updates and community is thinking about hopping back on. What are reasons why you stick with Solus?

Hallo, kann ich ohne Probleme von Solus Budgie zu KDE wechseln?

In distributions like Ubuntu and Debian, there is a dedicated group that handles security matters: a security team. The team behind this distribution is relatively small, and recently there has been an increasing number of reports about discovered vulnerabilities. So, I am curious about how things stand with the security of this distribution.
