On June 13 the same year, it was announced that the developer team had been expanded with Stefan Ric, and Ikey Doherty – previously working for Intel on Clear Linux OS – started working full-time on Solus. In August, Doherty announced that Solus also will adopt "Snaps" (next to Flatpak). In January 2017, Doherty announced that Solus will adopt Flatpak to reassemble third party applications. In July 2016, Solus announced the intention to discard the concept of fixed point releases and to embrace a rolling release model. On September 20, 2015, Ikey Doherty announced that "Solus 1.0 will be codenamed Shannon, after the River Shannon in Ireland", indicating that "codenames for releases will continue this theme, using Irish rivers." The developers of Solus have stated that Solus is intended exclusively for use on personal computers and will not include software that is only useful in enterprise or server environments. Its package manager, eopkg, is based on the PiSi package management system from Pardus Linux, and it has a semi- rolling release model, with new package updates landing in the stable repository every Friday. Solus (previously known as Evolve OS) is an independently developed operating system for the x86-64 architecture based on the Linux kernel and a choice of the homegrown Budgie desktop environment, GNOME, MATE or KDE Plasma as the desktop environment.
