The rebooting of Solus Linux

[Posted April 19, 2023 by corbet]

The desktop-oriented Solus distribution has been through a difficult period; this post describes the extensive changes that have been made in response.

Notably, innovation in the Linux ecosystem is presently centered around the use of application sandboxing, containers and the development of immutable operating systems with a well understood Software Bill of Materials. Each of these concepts allow for a degree of separation and stability when developing, testing and certifying software and products.

The current Solus tooling, as well as the resulting packaging and development experience, is somewhat ill-suited to this objective and would most likely need a wholesale re-engineering of the tools before this becomes feasible.

However, there is a more straightforward path for Solus: Rebasing onto Serpent OS.
