Once Solus 1.2.1 will be out, the development team lead by Ikey Doherty will start work on the next major version of the operating system, Solus 2.0, which promises to deprecate the old eopkg package manager and introduce a new one called simply sol, re-implemented in C. The sol package manager promises to take advantage of modern CPU features and provide a much lighter disk profile.
