One of Solus OS’s strongest aspects is its speed and responsiveness. Thanks to its independent nature and curated rolling release model, the system remains lightweight and optimized, ensuring smooth performance even on older hardware. There was no need to reinstall throughout use. Solus OS is an excellent Linux distribution for those who want a fast, stable, and visually appealing operating system. Whether you’re a beginner looking for an easy-to-use Linux distro or a seasoned user who values performance and efficiency, Solus delivers on all fronts. Solus team does a great job!

It seems a lot is broken on the backend of things or not quite right. Otherwise I like the distro, I had used it years ago, but not worth all the hassles. Several apps are not available in the repo's not even snapper, but it does have flatpack support. If you want out of the box good support for ComfyUI and other AI apps don't waster your time.

Since then I have not experienced any problems. Flawless updates arrive every week. The developers pay attention to the quality of the updates. You can also follow this in the forums. I prefer rolling systems. Many people are averse to rolling systems because they consider them unstable. Solus showed me that this is not the case. Of course I believe the problems of others. Which may be due to lack of preparation or different hardware. I have not experienced these. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 202 reader reviews of Solus...
