The release of the Linux distribution Solus 4.9 has been announced, which is not based on packages from other distributions and develops its own installer, package manager, and configuration tool. Previously, the Budgie desktop was included in the distribution, but it has now been separated into an independent project. The upcoming Solus 5 branch is set to be developed on the technologies of the AerynOS distribution. The project's code is distributed under the GPLv2 license, using C and Vala for development. Builds are provided with the Budgie, GNOME, KDE Plasma, and Xfce desktops. The size of the ISO images is 2.6-2.9 GB (x86_64). <\/p>\n

The package manager eopkg (a fork of PiSi from Pardus Linux) is used to manage packages, providing familiar tools for installing\/removing packages, searching the repository, and managing repositories. Packages can be categorized into thematic components, which in turn create categories and subcategories. For example, Firefox is categorized under component network.web.browser, which belongs to the network applications category and the Web applications subcategory. More than 2000 packages are available for installation from the repository. <\/p>\n

The distribution follows a hybrid development model, whereby significant releases are periodically made that offer new technologies and major improvements, while between significant releases the distribution is developed using a rolling model for package updates. <\/p>\n

For playing music in the Budgie and GNOME desktop environments, the Decibel player is suggested, while Celluloid is used for video playback. In the KDE environment, Elisa is available for music, and Haruna for video. In the Xfce environment, the Parole player is used for multimedia file playback. <\/p>\n
