Something dies in the soul
when a friend goes
from this world
Today they already clap it
two: Manolo escobar
y SolusOS
I'll start talking about the second
since the first we do not
interested
Today Ikey came to announce
that cannot cope with everything,
with sadness
What once was a
pretty debian daughter,
promising
of Ge-no-me more ease,
best use and beauty
was coming back
a separate project
with barely strong support.
so it was
that his fate was sung
and that I would find death
unborn.
Many things have happened,
many updates,
more promises,
Your packages have changed
to Pisi, forks,
many tests.
A stagnant project
at their bus factor
equal one
Of which he came telling us
the Andalusian pelado
great.
Your code will follow
alive and ready
of anyone
In github it will be hosted
for a developer
something want
And with these verses of mine,
my broken foot couplets,
and without lame
I say goodbye to you
That they have been to your liking
bye.
It reminds me of my tuna times. I intended to jump into my distrohopper days to SolusOS, but I stayed on openSUSE so I can't talk much about it.
I do not like you!!!
One against the world, you couldn't take it anymore, it was predictable.
In a way I resemble Ikey, he with his SoluOS and I with my Blog. I've changed my mind so many times and I've gone back and forth so many times.
By the way, whoever wants to consult all the details of the closure, and in Spanish, can do it here http://yoyo308.com/2013/10/24/solusos-echa-el-cierre-gracias-por-todo-ikey/
ROFLMAO !!!!
Anyway, I hope to look good if I get alopesia or trim all my hair at will.
Joking aside, the project is only in a coma, so it doesn't mean that it is totally dead as is the case with Fuduntu. The truth is that the communal nature of SoluOS gives it the advantage of reviving from the dead and / or reincarnating with another name and / or characteristics (including that it is an open project).
Do you know if this affects the consort desk?
Consort was already dead, at least as a fork of Gnome 3 using it totally like Gnome 2 (a fallback but improved), Ikey had already chosen to develop a desktop fork of Gnome Shell.
I think you are a bit out of date, because consort was already being developed in Qt.
You are talking about a month ago, I am talking about this that a few days ago on your blog:
http://yoyo308.com/2013/10/21/solusos-y-numix-se-unen-en-un-proyecto-llamado-numix-dx-numix-desktop-experience/
* that Yoyo put days ago on his blog.
Well, at least Ikey left with a new PC thanks to The Community and leaving many waiting for Consort and other goodies .. U_U
I was waiting for it to come out and use it with fuduntu (which I still think would have been perfect for both of us. We will never know), but both projects have already thundered !! 🙁
It's a shame that Ikey prefers to abandon ship rather than merge the project with some other distro.
It's a shame because it was one of the distributions that made me approach Debian to never leave it again (with Gnome even though Elav doesn't like it), I like many started with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and that I was very disappointed, time then I gave it a try on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and had it in a partition, one good day 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS arrived and I was fascinated.
I took a Fedora 12 course at the UNAM School of Engineering and installed CentOS on my PC and one day SolusOS GNU / Linux arrived, a distortion so clean and attractive that it made me move to Debian 6 Squeeze, today I use Debian Wheezy in my lap on my PC and I'm fascinated.
Goodbye SolusOS you will always be in my memory and on a rescue CD just in case.
I also got to know Debian through SolusOS and now I use Debian thanks to SolusOS.
Ugly comment, Elav, I love how now the "Community" is on top of Ikey to try to bury him more. Just what Ikey himself denounced before, the pressures of the media did a lot to sink him.
It's a shame, with how good it is ..
I would like him to continue working on Consort (which was going to port it to Qt) at least. It won't be as much work as maintaining an entire distro.
actually left it for modifying Gnome Shell 3.10
Thanks, Diazepan for making me laugh with such sad news. I just hope I can take time to take a look at that distro.
This was coming. SolusOS was a project with no clear objectives. First that if they made a fork of Gnome, then that they changed packages, then that they would be based on Qt, etc.
If it was a one-person project, all the more reason it was first of all to be clear about where you want to target, to focus your efforts on these objectives. In the end I think that it has ended up wearing out precisely because of this, for not knowing what to do or where to direct a distro that at the time filled many people with enthusiasm.
Certainly Ikey never had a clear goal, changing course so many times was his failure, personally I was very fond of him until they announced the change to .pisi, that was like an insult to my XD. He frankly promised so much that he delivered nothing.
Certainly. He never accepts criticism with his ego. I left the distro more than a year ago. In a blog I saw their answers and I said to myself - I have nothing to do with SolusOS. Bye !
I'm from Mexico and the skulls are until the day of the dead, November 2, but I look good 😛
Another one in the garbage can, what a waste of effort and talent, Fudunto, SolusOS,… etc… .etc…. I hope the same does not happen with elementaryOS ..
eOS will not disappear so quickly because it is ubuntu with different colors, it was the chronicle of an announced death and one more sign that we must join forces in large projects
The first thing that occurred to me when I read the headline ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHQ-_bf9NFI
A shame because it always seemed to me that it offered very interesting things but it was to be expected as they have already mentioned, a lot of work for one person and above considering that it was in their free time
However, his action proposal seems even more sensible and it would seem fantastic to see again news of a person who, as he contributes to the community
A lot of work if we consider that in addition to developing SolusOS, he is a contributor to peppermint linux as far as I could find out by googling a bit.
And who knows, maybe your desktop consort will continue to develop but with a view to implementing it in peppermint, you never know what may come.
Honestly, I did not understand why Debian left base. Now all this work done after, what good has it been?
From what I read, I was tired of patching every package that came in due to ruining the desktop I was creating.
But if the patches made them a gnome, they shouldn't have
deep down I had a lot of projects and good ideas, but I didn't finish a single one
Normal, when making the change to pisi and leaving the debian base, they screwed everything up…., And so we are waiting for a consort in qt and wayland that will never appear.
Let's see if I can upload the audio version of these verses tonight.
POET POET POET
Standing before such a distinguished architect of the language, I bow to your sensitivity, master!
That's why I use Debian.
How to say "I TOLD YOU"?
So much that they put this distro through the skies and leagues it was clear that it was not going to last. In the end, fanaticism always crashes against harsh reality.
Anyway. I TOLD YOU.
the developer was very changeable, Solus Os 2 was almost ready., and suddenly it changes from package to pisi and starts all over again,
The challenge is not to create a distro but to maintain it, so I believe more in contributing to those already established. Better to unite than to separate.
I find it blasphemous what you said that the first one does not interest us.
He is a great person who has already stopped being with us.
Show more respect and rectify what you have said about our late Manolo Escobar
Who was Manolo Escobar? However, I don't think the author said it "because he doesn't care who it was", but because it sure has nothing to do with Free Software. Or if?
Exactly. It has nothing to do with SolusOS
I don't want to be disrespectful or detract from the developer's work, but I think from the beginning SolusOS was, as the popular saying goes, a lot of noise and few nuts.
But hey, we have eight hundred other distributions, even though most of them are just simple makeups from 8, 10 that take the whole load.
It seems that the topic inspired you and that you are very happy that SolusOS passed away.
I didn't expect to read something like that.
Sad. Yours and SolusOS.
In another post I comment that it does not make me happy.
