Solus 4.4 Releases With Useful Upgrades and Plans to Ditch MATE Edition
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Solus 4.4 gets some impressive upgrades, with a new edition on the way in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
![solus 4.4][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Solus is a name that has not made the news for some time now, the last time we heard about it was back in April this year when it went through [yet another shake up][2].
|
||||
|
||||
Luckily, the new organizational restructure seems to have worked, as we now have a **new release after almost two years!**
|
||||
|
||||
You see, Solus is one of the best [independent Linux distros][3] that offers a very beginner-friendly user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
The last release was Solus 4.3, which offered many improvements, and the new one aims to one-up that.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's see what the latest release of Solus has to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
### 🆕 Solus 4.4: What's New?
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Solus 4.4 is packed with many improvements; some of the most notable ones include the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Better Hardware Support**
|
||||
- **Desktop Environment Upgrades**
|
||||
- **Updated Application Suite**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Better Hardware Support
|
||||
|
||||
Solus 4.4 uses the **Linux Kernel 6.3.8** as a strong foundation for supporting a wide range of hardware, which was not seen before. The hardware support consists of:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Secure Boot**
|
||||
- **Intel Arc GPUs**
|
||||
- **NVIDIA 40 Series GPUs**
|
||||
- **AMD Radeon RX 7600, 7900 XT, and 7900 XTX cards.**
|
||||
- **Enhanced support for various light sensors and accelerometers.**
|
||||
- **And More.**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Desktop Environment Upgrades
|
||||
|
||||
This is where you will find the most critical bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements with Solus. As it is offered in four different editions, we will cover what's new in each.
|
||||
|
||||
**GNOME 43.5**
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of solus 4.4 running gnome][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Solus 4.4 **features the latest** [**GNOME 43.5**][6] **release** with many tweaks. The default shell theme was switched to Adwaita, and dark mode was enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Then there's the updated system UI styling, which features the redesigned system status menu, allowing for quick changes to the commonly used settings.
|
||||
|
||||
**MATE Retires in Favour of XFCE**
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of solus 4.4 running mate][7]
|
||||
|
||||
And, in the case of the MATE edition, Solus 4.4 **features the latest** [**MATE 1.27.1**][8] **release**. It includes **various reliability/accessibility fixes**, **a keyboard driver change**, and the **qxl video driver being the default driver** to handle virtualization video driver support.
|
||||
|
||||
Sadly, the Solus dev team has **decided to deprecate the MATE edition in favor of an XFCE edition** with future releases of Solus. The key reason behind it was the MATE project being in a **very dilapidated state**, with **no plans for a Wayland implementation**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Budgie 10.7.2**
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of solus 4.4 running budgie][9]
|
||||
|
||||
In the case of the Budgie edition, Solus 4.4 **features the** [**Budgie 10.7.2**][10] **release,** which allows Solus to take advantage of the **new application indexer**, **redesigned settings menu**, **accessibility improvements,** and more.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, Solus now **uses the Nemo file manager by default**, doing away with Nautilus. The reason is that Nautilus was changed to GTK4 and libadwaita, which no longer matches the look and feel of the rest of the system.
|
||||
|
||||
**Plasma**
|
||||
|
||||
![a screenshot of solus running plasma][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, in the case of the Plasma edition. Solus 4.4 **features the latest [Plasma Desktop 5.27.5][12] release** alongside **KDE Frameworks 5.106.0**, **KDE Gear 23.04.2**, and the **KDE branch for QT 5.15.9.**
|
||||
|
||||
This has resulted in many new features; some highlights include:
|
||||
|
||||
- **The default application launcher was replaced with [Kickoff][13].**
|
||||
- **Wayland Session is made available out of the box.**
|
||||
- **[KSysGuard][14] was replaced in favor of [System Monitor][15].**
|
||||
- **A new 'Overview View', that can be used to manage all the active desktops/applications.**
|
||||
- **Support for Big Screen Mode.**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Updated Application Suite
|
||||
|
||||
Other than the above-mentioned changes, Solus 4.4 features an updated application suite that includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Firefox 114.0.1**
|
||||
- **LibreOffice 7.5.3.2**
|
||||
- **Thunderbird 102.12.0**
|
||||
- **Rhyhmbox as the default music player for Budgie, GNOME, and MATE editions.**
|
||||
- **Celluloid for video playback on Budgie and GNOME.**
|
||||
- **VLC Player for video playback on MATE.**
|
||||
- **Elisa for audio playback, and Haruna for video playback on Plasma.**
|
||||
|
||||
