It's good to see that they're making progress. Really interested to watch how Solus integrates Serpent OS in v.5.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The use of Dlang is interesting. Does anyone else know of any other distro that uses it?
It struck me a fairly nice language that unfortunately didn't take off due to early politics. Personally, I wouldn't mind adopting it if became popular again.
I don't know of a distro that writes tools in it, but my favourite terminal emulator ever, tilix, uses it.
It's been a while since I last used solus and I used to enjoy it before permanently switching to arch. Will have to spin up a qemu VM to test out 4.4. I hope to see good things and who knows,I might readopt it.
