Solus 是一个许久没有出现在新闻中的名字，我们上一次听说它是今年 4 月份它经历了 [又一次动荡](https://news.itsfoss.com/solus-revival/)。


幸运的是，新的组织重组似乎奏效了，因为现在我们在近两年后迎来了新发布！


Solus 是最棒的 [独立 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/independent-linux-distros/) 之一，提供了非常适合初学者的用户体验。


和它的上一个版本 Solus 4.3 相比，它带来了许多改进，这个新版本的目标是超越之前的版本。


让我们看看 Solus 最新版本有什么新特性。

Solus 4.4 带来了许多改进，其中一些最显著的包括以下内容：


* 更好的硬件支持
* 桌面环境升级
* 更新的应用程序套件


#### 更好的硬件支持


前所未有的，Solus 4.4 使用 **Linux 内核 6.3.8** 作为强大的基础来支持各种硬件。硬件支持包括：


* 安全启动
* 英特尔 Arc 显卡
* 英伟达 40 系列显卡
* AMD Radeon RX 7600、7900 XT 和 7900 XTX 显卡
* 增强对各种光传感器和加速度计的支持
* 以及更多


#### 桌面环境升级


这是你将找到 Solus 中最关键的错误修复和提升用户体验的改进之处。由于提供了四个不同的版本，我们将介绍每个版本中的新功能。


##### GNOME 43.5


![solus 4.4 运行 GNOME 的截图](/data/attachment/album/202307/12/185120ft3azh4etihhdrrt.jpg)


Solus 4.4 **采用了最新的 [GNOME 43.5](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/releases/43.5) 版本**，带来了许多调整。默认的窗口主题切换到了 Adwaita，且默认启用了深色模式。


此外，更新了系统用户界面的样式，重新设计了系统状态菜单，方便快速更改常用设置。


##### MATE 将被 XFCE 取代


![solus 4.4 运行 MATE 的截图](/data/attachment/album/202307/12/185121u4c3ylf3teoua7c0.jpg)


而对于 MATE 版本，Solus 4.4 **采用了最新的 [MATE 1.27.1](https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/releases/tag/v1.27.1) 版本**。它包括**各种可靠性和可访问性的修复**，**更改了键盘驱动程序**，以及将 **qxl 视频驱动程序设为处理虚拟化视频驱动程序支持的默认驱动程序**。


遗憾的是，Solus 开发团队决定在未来的版本中 **淘汰 MATE 版本**，并采用 XFCE 版本。这其中的关键原因是 MATE 项目处于非常 **衰败的状态**，并且 **没有计划支持 Wayland**。


#### Budgie 10.7.2


![solus 4.4 运行 Budgie 的截图](/data/attachment/album/202307/12/185121uplolwqlbibo6lio.jpg)


对于 Budgie 版本，Solus 4.4 **采用了 [Budgie 10.7.2](https://blog.buddiesofbudgie.org/budgie-10-7-2/) 版本**，使 Solus 能够利用**新的应用索引器**、**重新设计的设置菜单**、**可访问性改进**等功能。


此外，Solus 现在**默认使用 Nemo 文件管理器**，不再使用 Nautilus。原因是 Nautilus 被更改为 GTK4 和 libadwaita，不再符合系统其他部分的外观和感觉。


#### KDE Plasma


![solus 运行 Plasma 的截图](/data/attachment/album/202307/12/185121w85o1whtk102j9dk.jpg)

* Wayland 会话默认提供
* [KSysGuard](https://apps.kde.org/ksysguard/) 被 [System Monitor](https://apps.kde.org/plasma-systemmonitor/) 替换
* 新的“总览视图”，可用于管理所有活动的桌面/应用程序
* 支持大屏幕模式


#### 更新的应用套件


除了上述更改之外，Solus 4.4 还包括更新的应用套件，其中包括：


* Firefox 114.0.1
* LibreOffice 7.5.3.2
* Thunderbird 102.12.0
* Budgie、GNOME 和 MATE 版本的默认音乐播放器为 Rhythmbox

Solus is a name that has not made the news for some time now, the last time we heard about it was back in April this year when it went through [yet another shake up](https://news.itsfoss.com/solus-revival/).

Luckily, the new organizational restructure seems to have worked, as we now have a **new release after almost two years!**

You see, Solus is one of the best [independent Linux distros](https://itsfoss.com/independent-linux-distros/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) that offers a very beginner-friendly user experience.

The last release was Solus 4.3, which offered many improvements, and the new one aims to one-up that.

**Suggested Read **📖

[Solus 4.3 Released with Budgie 10.3.5 and GNOME 40.2Solus, the independent Linux distribution, has just announced their third installment of their 4.x “Fortitude” series. This release brings improved hardware support, a new kernel, and updated desktop environments. Read on for an exciting look into what this new release brings. Solus 4.3:…](https://news.itsfoss.com/solus-4-3-release/)![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/07/solus-4-3-release.png)


![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/07/solus-4-3-release.png)

Let's see what the latest release of Solus has to offer.

## 🆕 Solus 4.4: What's New?

![a screenshot of the about the system menu on solus plasma edition](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/Solus_4.4.jpg)

Solus 4.4 is packed with many improvements; some of the most notable ones include the following:

**Better Hardware Support****Desktop Environment Upgrades****Updated Application Suite**

### Better Hardware Support

Solus 4.4 uses the **Linux Kernel 6.3.8 **as a strong foundation for supporting a wide range of hardware, which was not seen before. The hardware support consists of:

**Secure Boot****Intel Arc GPUs****NVIDIA 40 Series GPUs****AMD Radeon RX 7600, 7900 XT, and 7900 XTX cards.****Enhanced support for various light sensors and accelerometers.****And More.**

### Desktop Environment Upgrades

This is where you will find the most critical bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements with Solus. As it is offered in four different editions, we will cover what's new in each.

**GNOME 43.5**

![a screenshot of solus 4.4 running gnome](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/Solus_4.4_GNOME.jpg)

Solus 4.4 **features the latest ****GNOME 43.5**** release** with many tweaks. The default shell theme was switched to Adwaita, and dark mode was enabled by default.

Then there's the updated system UI styling, which features the redesigned system status menu, allowing for quick changes to the commonly used settings.

**MATE Retires in Favour of XFCE**

![a screenshot of solus 4.4 running mate](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/Solus_4.4_MATE.jpg)

And, in the case of the MATE edition, Solus 4.4 **features the latest ****MATE 1.27.1**** release**. It includes **various reliability/accessibility fixes**, **a keyboard driver change**, and the **qxl video driver being the default driver** to handle virtualization video driver support.

Sadly, the Solus dev team has **decided to deprecate the MATE edition in favor of an XFCE edition** with future releases of Solus. The key reason behind it was the MATE project being in a **very dilapidated state**, with **no plans for a Wayland implementation**.

**Budgie 10.7.2**

![a screenshot of solus 4.4 running budgie](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/Solus_4.4_Budgie.jpg)

In the case of the Budgie edition, Solus 4.4 **features the ****Budgie 10.7.2**** release, **which allows Solus to take advantage of the **new application indexer**, **redesigned settings menu**, **accessibility improvements,** and more.

Furthermore, Solus now **uses the Nemo file manager by default**, doing away with Nautilus. The reason is that Nautilus was changed to GTK4 and libadwaita, which no longer matches the look and feel of the rest of the system.

**Plasma**

![a screenshot of solus running plasma](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/Solus_4.4_Plasma.jpg)

Similarly, in the case of the Plasma edition. Solus 4.4 **features the latest Plasma Desktop 5.27.5 release** alongside

**KDE Frameworks 5.106.0**,

**KDE Gear 23.04.2**, and the

**KDE branch for QT 5.15.9.**

This has resulted in many new features; some highlights include:

**The default application launcher was replaced with**[Kickoff](https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Kickoff?ref=news.itsfoss.com).**Wayland Session is made available out of the box.**[KSysGuard](https://apps.kde.org/ksysguard/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)was replaced in favor of[System Monitor](https://apps.kde.org/plasma-systemmonitor/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).**A new 'Overview View', that can be used to manage all the active desktops/applications.****Support for Big Screen Mode.**
