Solus Updates Week 34, 2026

[u/0riginal-Syn]

Highlights this week include updates: Kernels (7.1.9/6.18.45), QT (6.11.2), plus a ton of others, including security.

New this week is Tabularis - a sql workspace with support for many DB types.

LLVM has been (re-)optimized with llvm-bolt. LLVM BOLT is a post-link optimizer that reorders a binary according to the most hot and cold sections after profiling with a workload from a instrumented binary. You may expect a 5-7% compile time improvement in C/C++ projects, as well as a small improvement for other toolchains that make use of LLVM, such as rust. This is in addition to the already existing advanced compiler optimizations we have enabled for LLVM such as PGO, LTO, and mimalloc, making our clang and clang++ binaries one of, if not the, fastest available in any distribution.
