If you haven't already, we encourage you to try using #GNOME Software or #KDE Discover instead of the Solus Software Center for your package management needs. The more people that test them, the better we can make the experience!
Future ISOs will come with KDE Discover on Budgie, Plasma, and Xfce, and GNOME Software on GNOME.

After next week's sync, Solus will no longer run on kernels older than 5.15. This is because, with the release of kernel 6.12, we are bumping the `glibc` syscall baseline to 5.15, which will disable all code paths for older kernels. This only affects people who are compiling their own kernel, running Solus in a container, or otherwise using an old kernel, including `chroot`ing into Solus using a very old ISO. Our previous baseline was 5.10. This baseline is updated regularly, about once a year.

To try to achieve the best stability, we usually wait for at least the first point release before pushing major upgrades. This means, for example, waiting for GNOME 47.1, expected to come out later this month.

Heya folks! Right now, #Solus only supports #swap partitions (or no swap, of course), but not swap files.
We want to know what you think: Are swap files a desirable feature? What are people's preferences?
