This is and isn't a big deal at the same time. As Solus is a rolling distro almost noting changes to the current users. But on the other hand the previous ISO was so old you couldn't install it on some modern hardware. I really hope we can get ISO updates more frequently in the future.

The very fast very easy to install anoying distro. I'm no distro hopper. Happy Arch user but still holding for updates to Aryalinux so it becomes rolling/ upgradeable.

Don't forget native support for exFAT is wired in on Solus, now that exFAT is finally stable enough, so exfat-fuse can finally be removed.

Best rolling distro out there, using it 2 years now. Stable and no issues as packages are tested in proper time compared to Manjaro.

Any news on the Budgie 11 front?

Budgie has come a long way but you can feel it hasn't yet the same maturity as the big DEs. I have high hopes for Budgie 11 though, but it's been a long time coming now.
