Solus 1.0 Released, Powered By GTK Budgie Desktop

It's true that he doesn't explicitly state that this is a new Linux distro, but I thought it was reasonably obvious through context.

Not all that new, either. It might be just a 1.0 release, but Michael has reported on Solus several times this year...

FORK FORK FORK. More forks = MORE APPS. More forks = Less AAA apps...

Yes, there are so many forked distributions. I'm so glad Solus is not another derivative. it is built from scratch. Solus is the first new truly independent distribution for a very long time.

Independent from glibc/X/Qt/GTK/sysv/systemd? Or from what?

It has a unique desktop environment, unique package manager, and a unique fork of it's boot loader.
