Joshua Strobl has announced the release of Solus 1.2.0.5, the latest stable version of the desktop-oriented Linux distribution with the home-built Budgie as the preferred desktop user interface. Despite the tiny increment in the version number, the new release is packed with fresh software updates, including the latest stable kernel, as well as bug fixes. "Solus 1.2.0.5 released. Today we are providing a minor update to Solus 1.2 in the form of Solus 1.2.0.5. This release enables us to address a multitude of issues that have since been resolved after the release of Solus 1.2. Budgie: battery icon refresh issues were solved; we resolved an issue where the keyboard layout would revert to the default guessed layout for the locale on login; we switched to GNOME Screensaver for screen locking and power management. Installation: issues using Solus and the installation media on some hardware configurations, such as NVIDIA Maxwell cards and Intel Skylake processors; we solved an issue whereby the installer might hang scanning disks. We have delivered an updated GNOME 3.20 Stack, PulseAudio 9, as well as Mesa 12.
