Solus 4 ‘Fortitude’ Released with Significant Improvements
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
Finally, after a year of work, the much anticipated Solus 4 is here. 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.

||
