It’s a significant release not just because this is a major upgrade, but also because this is the first major release after [Ikey Doherty (the founder of Solus) left the project][1] a few months ago. + +Now that everything’s under control with the new _management_ , **Solus 4 Fortitude** with updated Budgie desktop and other significant improvements has officially released. + +### What’s New in Solus 4 + +![Solus 4 Fortitude][2] + +#### Core Improvements + +Solus 4 comes loaded with **[Linux Kernel 4.20.16][3]** which enables better hardware support (like Touchpad support, improved support for Intel Coffee Lake and Ice Lake CPUs, and for AMD Picasso & Raven2 APUs). + +This release also ships with the latest [FFmpeg 4.1.1][4]. Also, they have enabled the support for [dav1d][5] in [VLC][6] – which is an open source AV1 decoder. So, you can consider these upgrades to significantly improve the Multimedia experience. + +It also includes some minor fixes to the Software Center – if you were encountering any issues while finding an application or viewing the description. + +In addition, WPS Office has been removed from the listing. + +#### UI Improvements + +![Budgie 10.5][7] + +The Budgie desktop update includes some minor changes and also comes baked in with the [Plata (Noir) GTK Theme.][8] + +You will no longer observe same applications multiple times in the menu, they’ve fixed this. They have also introduced a “ **Caffeine** ” mode as applet which prevents the system from suspending, locking the screen or changing the brightness while you are working. You can schedule the time accordingly. + +![Caffeine Mode][9] + +The new Budgie desktop experience also adds quick actions to the app icons on the task bar, dubbed as “ **Icon Tasklist** “. It makes it easy to manage the active tabs on a browser or the actions to minimize and move it to a new workplace (as shown in the image below). + +![Icon Tasklist][10] + +As the [change log][11] mentions, the above pop over design lets you do more: + + * _Close all instances of the selected application_ + * _Easily access per-window controls for marking it always on top, maximizing / unmaximizing, minimizing, and moving it to various workspaces._ + * _Quickly favorite / unfavorite apps_ + * _Quickly launch a new instance of the selected application_ + * _Scroll up or down on an IconTasklist button when a single window is open to activate and bring it into focus, or minimize it, based on the scroll direction._ + * _Toggle to minimize and unminimize various application windows_ + + + +The notification area now groups the notifications from specific applications instead of piling it all up. So, that’s a good improvement. + +In addition to these, the sound widget got some cool improvements while letting you personalize the look and feel of your desktop in an efficient manner. + +To know about all the nitty-gritty details, do refer the official [release note][11]s. + +### Download Solus 4 + +You can get the latest version of Solus from its download page below. It is available in the default Budgie, GNOME and MATE desktop flavors. + +[Get Solus 4][12] + +### Wrapping Up** + +Solus 4 is definitely an impressive upgrade – without introducing any unnecessary fancy features but by adding only the useful ones, subtle changes. + +What do you think about the latest Solus 4 Fortitude?
