Solus 1.1 Updated Version Available for VirtualBox and VMware

Solus project announced the update to stable version of Solus 1.1 featured the desktop called ‘Budgie’. “We are proud to announce the release of Solus 1.1, the first point release in the ‘Shannon’ series of releases. Solus 1.1 builds upon the groundwork of 1.0 with subtle refinements and improvements to Budgie, large core and graphics stack improvements, and furthers us on our journey to create something that you can just use, something that just works. Budgie is our flagship desktop environment, developed and designed for the desktop, with every inch of it catering to a desktop workflow. We have continued to improve Budgie, with version 10.2.4 shipping in Solus 1.1. This release features a multitude of bug fixes, improvements and updated translations. System locking has been restored in Solus 1.1, as we are now leveraging LightDM. As a result of dropping GDM for LightDM, we are also seeing significant performance improvements with a reduced CPU overhead.” You can read complete release announcement here.
