I am using the Solus distribution of Linux as my desktop

I tried to get gdc by running the dlang install script
mentioned on the downloads page,
https://dlang.org/install.sh
but the gdc installation it gave me was 11 versions back. I am
mystified why gdc is an option of that script at all.
What is the recommended way to get gdc in this situation?
GDC is a bit of a pain compared to the other compilers. I don't
know what you mean by "11 versions back", but if you're not
talking about major versions then it's because non-DMD compilers
are always a bit behind on features.
You could try to perform some sort of witchcraft and get GDC as a
package from a .deb or similar, or you could build it yourself.
