<p>1 revision imported</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Solus Linux&#039;&#039;&#039; is an **independently developed Linux distribution** built from scratch, focused exclusively on providing a modern, desktop-centric experience. It is famous for its **Budgie desktop environment** and its unique rolling release model.<br /> <br /> == Base and Philosophy ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Base Distribution:&#039;&#039;&#039; Independent; it does not base itself on Debian, Arch, or Red Hat. It maintains its own package repositories, build tooling, and core infrastructure.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Goal:&#039;&#039;&#039; To provide a curated, reliable, and cutting-edge operating system optimized for everyday desktop computing, development, and media consumption.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Development Model:&#039;&#039;&#039; Uses a **curated rolling release** model. Packages are continually updated (rolling), but updates are carefully synchronized and tested as a group (curated) to prevent system breakage.<br /> <br /> == Key Features ==<br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Budgie Desktop:&#039;&#039;&#039; The flagship desktop environment, **Budgie**, is developed in-house by the Solus team. Budgie is known for being elegant, modern, and highly responsive, aiming to merge the aesthetics of GNOME with the tradition of classic desktop layouts.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;eopkg Package Manager:&#039;&#039;&#039; Solus uses its own package manager, &#039;&#039;&#039;eopkg&#039;&#039;&#039;, for managing pre-compiled binary packages.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Software Center:&#039;&#039;&#039; Features a simple, graphical software center that makes installing applications straightforward, with a focus on ease of use for newcomers.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Optimization:&#039;&#039;&#039; The system is highly optimized for performance, often resulting in very fast boot times and snappy application launches.</div>
