This week we have @kde #Plasma 6.3.4, and @gnome 47.5 going out to our users. If you use either of these desktops, show off your setup in the replies!

I could have sworn Solus Linux supported Secure Boot. Sadly, I get this error when trying to boot the USB. I can press "OK" and it brings me right back to my PCs UEFI menu.

Heya folks, we're pushing back the sync a day or two to give more testing time for #KDE #Plasma 6.3.4 and #GNOME 47.5. See you all soon!

If you haven't already, we encourage you to try using #GNOME Software or #KDE Discover instead of the Solus Software Center for your package management needs. The more people that test them, the better we can make the experience!

Future ISOs will come with KDE Discover on Budgie, Plasma, and Xfce, and GNOME Software on GNOME.

Heya folks, we've decided to delay this week's sync by one day while we look into an AppStream generation issue with a package.

Whoa, Hybrid Sleep saved me from a power outage on my ThinkCentre M910q.

I came home to blinking clocks on my oven and microwave, and expected to see some journal replay stuff when I booted my little desktop, but it just jumped right back to the lock screen.

So nice! I don't recall ever having hibernate working properly on linux, before.

Heya folks! It's Friday, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!

This week, we have split our linux-firmware package into several packages. As a result, installing this update will take a significant amount of time, likely between 8 and 15 minutes.

Ok, this is crazy weird...

I deleted my ~/.config/syncthing folder and started syncthing again to re-set it up from scratch, and everything was back! My config, my folders, everything!!

I looked in ~/.config/, and no syncthing!

I did a find, and the config folder is in ~/.local/state/syncthing!!

Has anyone heard of ~/.local/state/? Is that a #Solus thing?
I'd never encountered it before.

Phew!!

For a few years I have enjoyed my #Plantronics RIG 800HD wireless headset.
https://www.riggaming.com/800-pro-series #RIG800HD

I have used them with various Linux distros, including a Chromebook, and they work great. Well, there was a niggle.... occasionally they would cut out, turn off, then come back on. At times it was annoying, but I could never figure out the cause.
Recently I installed #Solus #Plasma6 on the #System76 #Thelio desktop, and I have been having ZERO issues. In fact I truly believe the sound is superior to what I have heard before.
I love music and I am going through a wonderful experience!!
