The Solus team is proud to announce the release of Solus 4.5 Resilience. This release brings updated applications and kernels, refreshed software stacks, a new installer, and a new ISO edition featuring the XFCE desktop environment.
Highlights:
- Calamares installer
- Pipewire by default
- ROCM support for AMD hardware
- Hardware and kernel enablement
Behind the scenes, we made many improvements in 2023 to our tooling and infrastructure. While end users don’t see most of this directly, it means we are able to maintain and update Solus more efficiently. What end users will see is overall improvement in packages being kept up to date. Packagers and developers will notice many quality of life improvements, which enable our plans to migrate to Serpent tooling in 5.0. One of our future blog posts will summarize these changes.
Finally!
Thanks! I will boot up my old laptop to update for this.
Just a question. How do you do “Kernel modules are no longer compressed during initramfs creation, reducing boot times”? Is there a config, or commit I can see?
