A Big Welcome and thank you to Eddie from StationX for joining us on Destination Linux. Eddie is such a great down to earth guy who loves Linux as much as we do. This is what sets Stationx apart from other companies so we welcome you to support them when thinking of making your next purchase.

In this episode, we talk about how the company started and what the goal is. We cover their fantastic line of computers and a surprise announcement that you won’t want to miss. It was a great conversation to be a part of and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Episode 35: Destination Linux EP35 – Ikey Doherty of Solus

Welcome to Episode 35 of Destination Linux for 09/04/17

News

This Week in Solus – Install #46

Solus 3 has had quite the reception but the work continues including a TO-DO list posted on Solus site for all the features, enhancements and bug fixes they’re working on. https://dev.solus-project.com/T4235
Some High Priority Items that are being worked on I think will be refreshing for many
- Third Party support is one of the pain points I’ve heard and Ikey and the team have taken note. They’re going to be working on improvements to third party offerings in SNAP, upgrade improvements, and potentially more third party options.
- X-Stack upgrades to help with compatibility with APU + AMD GPU combos
- Improvements to Nautilus and Samba support
- Preston package and licensing scanning and ferryd for faster indexing and syncing of repos.
- Replacing eopkg with sol for software framework

Solus 3 Released
