The Ubuntu distro's always end up being unstable, package problems, crashes, high CPU usage whereas Solus OS is SMOOTH and doesn't even budge (see what I did there?). There is so much more that's just "BETTER" compared to the other popular distro's, from the install wizard (which is awesome) to updates and app store. Sure, Ubuntu distro's allow for easy package installing of any kind but this is also a severe stability risk. Solus OS has its own controlled package system (eopkg) that works smooth and ensures stable installs. But with Snap support there's no real reason to stick to Ubuntu based.

I'm using it for months now, without even one problem on the way! It's strange how it is not so popular. Soooo much better, stable, light on resources and smooth than Mint, Ubuntu or Manjaro. In my opinion it's even more stable than Debian! Really! Parent rolling distribution done right, with a lot of heart. Much, much recommended, for both new and advanced linux users.

Other major distros didn't boot on this Apollo-Lake-based hardware. Also supports the fairly new touch pad of this hardware. I love the elegant yet easy-to-use Budgie desktop. So far, I could install anything I wanted from software center or command line (eopkg). I'm impressed by the concepts behind the rolling update and dependency management (as far as explained in their blog). Recently, I was a bit worried since there was no new blog entry for several months. However, now there is activity again. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 295 reader reviews of Solus...
