u/0riginal-Syn

On Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), we will begin doing maintenance on the server hosting our forum. This may take a few hours, and the forum may be inaccessible at some points during that time.

Early sync as we update Python to 3.14 and want more time to test. No sync this Friday!

Updates include KDE Gear, Kernels (7.0.12 & 6.18.35) and a lot of security updates.

VSCodium added to the repo.

Big updates include Gnome (50.2), Kernels (7.0.11 / 6.18.34 LTS), Krita (6.0.2), & many more, including a boatload of security.

New apps include:

HelixNotes is a local-first Markdown note-taking app that stores note in Markdown files that can be opened by other apps and brings a lot of great features in a speedy app that is not electron.

7zip is replacing p7zip due to many open security issues. You should not notice any difference.

I have enjoyed moving over to HelixNotes, so as one of the maintainers of the Linux distro, Solus, I submitted it to be added to the repo, which was approved, and then I built our package to submit the PR for its inclusion. That was also accepted and is now in our Unstable repo and will be moved to the main repo likely over the next day or so.

I appreciate you bringing a notes app like this that is not bloated, local first, and AI is not forced.

I noticed the logo you have for ArkHost, which I thought made things even more interesting due to our logo for Solus.

Lighter update this week after last week's behemoth list, but still well over 100 updates, including many security.

It has been a while since I put out an update on the progress of Solseek. I have been pushing out updates, bug fixes, and some minor features. However, I have not been posting much info. Part of it is me still getting into the groove of being part of Solus and working with the team to continue to grow and build on the strong foundation.

So I thought I would take a few minutes and update on where Solseek is and the future. As I mentioned, I still plan on maintaining Solseek and keeping it going. It started as a pet project, but has grown into a tool people seem to like.

Heya folks! We've encountered some issues with Nvidia and the 7.0.x kernel. Therefore, the decision has been made to delay this week's sync by a few days to get everything working and settled. Stay tuned, and happy Friday!

Our current kernel version is already protected against the CopyFail exploit. To ensure that we do not cause any issues we want to do further testing before pushing out the new 7.0.x kernel.

Gnome 50 has arrived. Reminder: Wayland only!

KDE Frameworks updated to 6.25.0. New packages include kew, Mailspring, eden & framework-system.

As always, security updates as well, so update!
