Josh Strobl from the Solus Project had the enormous pleasure of informing the world about the official release date for the Solus 1.0 Linux kernel-based computer operating system on December 25, 2015.

The development of Solus 1.0 started at the end of 2014, when the first Alpha builds were being distributed to a limited number of people for testing purposes, under the name of Evolve OS. A year has passed, and Solus 1.0 will finally see the light of day after three Beta builds and a Release Candidate (RC) version.

Karanbir Singh from the CentOS team had the great pleasure of announcing the general availability of the CentOS 7 Linux operating system for the ARM hardware architecture.

At the moment of writing this article, the CentOS developers didn’t write any release notes on their website about what new features and optimizations have been implemented in the ARM port of the latest CentOS 7 Linux operating system, except for the very brief announcement posted on their Twitter account… 

Today, December 19, 2015, the team of developers behind the Wine project, an open source software that lets Linux users run games and apps built for the Microsoft Windows operating system, were extremely proud to announce the final and stable release, as well as the immediate availability for download of Wine 1.8.

Wine 1.8 comes after one and a half years in the making, during which the Wine team released over 50 milestones under the 1.7 development branch, as well as four RC (Release Candidate) builds. It was one of the greatest efforts in the history of open source software and includes over 13,000 changes.
