Joshua Strobl, who was Experience Lead for the Solus Linux distribution, has officially quit but work on the Budgie desktop environment continues.
That’s sad news. I don’t use Solus anymore, but I really liked it when I did. That’s the second lead gone from the Solus project. What’s going on over there?
It’s one of the distros I’ve had in my “one day will test in a VM” list for a while, but so much turbulence makes me wonder how long it’ll last.
Joshua felt he wasn’t heard by (part of?) the Solus team any more. I don’t know if it’s connected to the departure of Ikey in 2018.
Never heard of Solus, is it based on Debian?
Evolve OS or now known as Solus is an independently developed operating system, uses eopkg as package manager and comes with Budgie, GNOME, MATE or KDE Plasma as the desktop environment.
It is rolling-release. So the change here is pretty hard because Strobl is very hard to replace.
So its not Linux? Is it based on windows then?
It is Linux, just independent.
OS is based on Linux (Unix-like), Kernel is from Linux, to be precise it is monolith based but the rest is, as said independent development. The OS is developed to bring a nice gaming desktop to Windows users for those who cannot handle Manjaro, Debian, etc.
oh noes
