Let it go bro. Just switch to Firefox & co. Or at least use it less for something that does not require ad-blocking.

Best community ever!

It uses activitypub, the same as Pixelfed. It is the same creator afterall. AFAIK, it is not yet federated. It ask for registration because it is pretty much in open beta right now. No other fediverse alternatives for Tiktok except that.

Edit: more about them on the FAQ.

I managed to remove at least one nail in all of my limbs through various activities. Some of them are dumber than others, but all of them are silly.

Lives in equator: What is blanket?

That yellow case looks rad!

Classic sketch from Rowan Atkinson!

Cute either way!

300 hundred years because we are a itty bitty tiny sized human.

Yeah, it is inches too in Southeast Asia. I guess simply converting current size screen to centimeter just makes the number awkward. For example 14 inches is 35.56 cm. If display to be measured in centimeters, I think the sizes will have to be different to make it marketable.

What’s the difference between hashtag and flair?

As with many feature outlined, most things are still on drawing board and not yet realized. But yes, the declarative system management ala NixOS was being discussed. The focus now is making “Versioned Repository”, so user and developer can avoid breaking changes altogether.

They just released a new blogpost if you are not aware: https://aerynos.com/blog/2025/06/30/mid-year-update/ .

Seems like you already went through the journey :)

I would say though before switching to Linux, switch all your critical apps to the one available on Linux first. Get used to it and when your are finally comfortable, switch your OS. No need to switch all of them in one go. If for whatever reason you are never get comfortable with the trade-off, just stay on Windows. It is fine.

To be clear, this blogpost has been in the works before that article came out and due to release this week. When Phoronix article came out, it was bad timing and Phoronix could just reach out to the devs asking why there is no update. Instead, they releaesed an article based of “looking at github contribution” charts.

👆 This is my advice. Switch all your apps to the one that is available on Linux. After you get used to it, then switch the OS. No need to do both at the same time.

I am not the technical guy, so I might explain some terminology wrong. So, I will give you a few article you can read in my answer. AerynOS tooling right now is focused on the “atomic” part, you can read about it here. The “immutable” part of the original proposition (when it is called Serpent OS) is not set in stone yet. Solus will adopt what make sense for us and right now we are very encouraged by atomic update that AerynOS tooling can already achieve.

TL;DR: Solus going immutable? No plan for it right now :)

I don’t agree with your assessment of Solus condition now. Granted I am biased as I am part of the staff. After the outage in early 2023, we have been going strong ever since. There are more contributors than ever. The bus factor problem has been mitigated by more people now have access to critical infrastructure.

Sure the old-heads are all gone but the future of Solus couldn’t be more clear than right now. eopkg was ported to python3 and now it is (finally) the default. We switch installer to calamares and in process of replacing our software center. Documentation also now looks better than ever. We already shed so many technical debts that is been going on for years, long before the outage. In the future the plan is for Solus to use AerynOS tooling and on their side development is going rapidly. You can read this all about this on our blog, devlog and forum.

I wrote the monthly “Contributor Roundup” in the forum, it summaries what the contributors been doing in the month. I would say we have pretty steady contribution rate and there is always new contributor coming in. If you have not tried Solus again after the outage, please do. You might be surprised on how things have changed and hopefully for the better. If you find anything that is not good, do not hesitate to tell us. We always appreciate a constructive feedback.

Anyway cheers!

We have pretty easy to use homegrown package manager (eopkg). We also have our own software center, though it is in the process of being replaced by Gnome Software and KDE Discover. You can install software from Solus repository or Flathub via those software center. We adopt what we called “curated-rolling” release, we only do software update on Friday. We also ensure that packages from our repositrory can be run OOTB without user configuration, using principle what is called “stateless”. You can find out more about Solus on the website, help center, and forum.

True, I just like start minimal and add on top of that. Truth be told, my experience with Garuda is minimal.
