We are proud to announce the availability of Solus 3.9999, our ISO refresh of Solus 3. This refresh enables support for a variety of new hardware released since Solus 3, introduces an updated set of default applications and theming, as well as enables users to immediately take advantage of new Solus infrastructure.
All of our editions feature:
Our Budgie and GNOME Editions ship with GNOME MPV 0.14 and our MATE Edition ships with VLC 3.0.3.
Solus ships with theming that enables a consistent look and feel across the entire system, regardless of which edition is chosen. All editions feature the Adapta GTK Theme for applications and Papirus Icon Theme for icons.
This ISO refresh of Solus ships with Linux kernel 4.18.5, enabling us to provide out-of-the-box support for the latest CPUs from AMD and Intel, including support for high core count CPUs like AMD Threadripper 2.
Additionally, we’ve introduced Intel GVT-g support for improved GPU virtualization via the enablement of KVMGT, MDEV, and VFIO_MDEV modules, as well as improved Realtek wireless card and dongle support with enablement of the RTL8XXX/RTL8XXXU modules.
As previously announced, we have been making changes to our infrastructure, repositories, and more. To ensure users are able to immediately take advantage of our new infrastructure, this refresh changes our default repository URLs so no modification or further updates are necessary.
As such, we have also updated various system packages, such as our baselayout
, to point to more relevant support documentation.
Our ISO refresh of Solus GNOME Edition introduces some changes to our default branding, such as:
Additionally, Solus GNOME Edition now ships with GNOME Photos out of the box, enabling easier photo management and editing!
Our ISO refresh of Solus MATE Edition introduces some changes to our default branding, such as:
