Solus 4.7 Budgie VM Images Available for VirtualBox and VMware

Solus project announced the update to stable version of Solus 4.7 Budgie features up-to-date snapshot of Budgie desktop environment. Solus is an independent Linux distribution which uses the eopkg package manager (a fork of the PiSi package manager): “We are proud to announce our latest release: Solus 4.7 Endurance. This release focuses on updating our editions, and refreshing the default kernels. We encourage you to try one of the new Software Centers as a replacement for solus-sc (Solus Software Center). A new software center gets you out-of-the-box support for Flatpaks, and better app descriptions through Appstream metadata support. Solus now ships Linux kernel 6.12.9. For those who need an LTS kernel, we provide 6.6.70. We plan to move to the 6.12.x kernel series for LTS; if you are using the LTS kernel now, please try the 6.12.x kernel so we can address any issues that may arise from the switch before it becomes mandatory. Mesa has been upgraded to 24.3.3. Solus ships with Budgie 10.9.2, the latest release of the Budgie Desktop. The mature 10.9.x series brings some small improvements, and builds on Budgie’s reputation for stability and polish…” You can read complete release announcement here.
