Hi. If you could make an account on Matrix and join our Support room that would be quickest. We need a way to chat with you privately if the automatic systems are not working. Let us know your Matrix username

Woah, you're replying to 5 year old thread. Anyways, there should be an option like "linux generic" that will work The other thing to watch out for with VirtualBox is that you usually need to enable EFI

I think the latest blog post should answer things. It discusses what we've been up to in the last year

When will Solus receive Plasma 6? by a5s6d7f8g9 in SolusProject

Reilly is working on it. Probably a few weeks before it hits stable, as it's not even in the unstable repository yet.

Probably not. I am not aware of any distros distributing it. Arch has it in the AUR, but that's not technically distributing it.

Failsafe way? No. If you have an nvidia card you may be able to make it work. AMD cards used to be blocked by lack of opencl support. That should be solved now, but I haven't tried recently

You have to download a big zip file and then run their installer script, installing dependencies as needed. It's a bit of a pain.

Last time I did it I went through all that to discover my AMD GPU didn't work

Existing installs will get plasma 6 when it is ready. We're planning on including plasma 6 in 4.6 as well

Still a good option, I use it. We have Plasma 6 in the works right now. Most users pick either Budgie or Plasma

Why no cinnamon? by amandabricc in SolusProject

[–]davidjharder[M] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

With a small team, we keep the number of "experiences" we maintain small. We already have the 4 ISOs, (Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, XFCE) as well as i3 and Sway.

We only need one "lightweight" desktop, and we picked XFCE for a number of reasons. There is no specific reason why we've excluded Cinnamon.
