Announcing 1.0 Release Candidate 1
The Solus Project is happy to announce the availability of the first release candidate of the Solus operating system. We would like to thank all of our community members for helping make this release possible. Together we have discovered and resolved a plethora of bugs, improved software, and ensured that the user experience under Solus is better than it has ever been before. Budgie Budgie has been updated to improve stability and is a stability and maintenance update prior to the landing of the new Budgie rewrite and Raven (our notification center), landing in a future update.

Solus Fundraiser!
Hello all! We’re pleased to announce this experiment, a fund raiser leading up to the launch of Solus Operating System v1, October 1st. We’d like to see if we can raise $1,000 (US) in the next couple of weeks. The Whats There’s some bits and pieces we need to get together before the release comes out, including (but not limited to): Printer/Scanner combo (for enabling) AMD/ATi GPU (enabling) Bluetooth audio hardware (likely a headset, again for audio/bt stack enabling) Those bits aside, we’ve all been growing a bit nervous lately at the bandwidth situation. Our packages have to exist in a primary source (packages.solus-project.com), which is kept secure and maintained by one release manager, and then propagated to other mirrors. In the last few months we’re seeing a lot more traffic come by, and users are beginning to suffer, waiting on increasing update times. Not to mention we’re now going through several terabytes of bandwidth a month now as a project, and this is constantly growing.

All your drums are belong to us
It’s been a while since we’ve spoken here, the Solus team have been incredibly busy bringing you all kinds of awesome! But.. nobody told you about it. Well, time for some first hand news then! Remember, you can grab the latest daily ISO over on our download page . A release date.. Yeah we decided one of these would be kinda handy. We used to have one, but then we hit these things called “setbacks” and “renames”. So, we’re announcing our new release date for our final version of Solus Operating System 1!

Clear Inspiration
Over the course of the last few months, Solus has undergone some very core changes, and embarked on a few new missions too. But where did this inspiration come from? Well, for the most, from the Clear Linux Project for Intel Architecture .

Open Response to LinuxInsider
Yesterday, we were made aware of a post over at LinuxInsider, entitled The New Solus: Putting The Pieces Together Again . Last night, I sent an email to the author with some factual adjustments, in the hopes that this issue would’ve been resolved by now, and the misconceptions, inaccuracies and random new “facts” were addressed. However, a good 24h has passed with no response or amendments, and I believe it is in the interest of the project to deal with the misinformation-damage inflicted on Solus.
