Sobre todo es muy estable, perfomance unico y hacen actualizaciones todos los viernes/sabado generalmente. Anda todo, no tengo ningun queja, y si hablamos de juegos o programacion es excelente! Actualmente uso con KDE Plasma y todo van tan fluido como queria, nunca más se me rompio cosas que si me ha pasado con arch linux o nobara. Los recomiendo a todos los invito que lo prueben!

Hardware detection: Also problem-free. Wi-Fi, printer, and scanner work right away. Installed on a Dell XPS 7760 AIO. Solus is a rolling release system. This means it runs continuously and updates itself on a weekly basis. These updates are usually released on Fridays and typically arrive on the servers on Saturdays. Solus is based on the Linux kernel and is an independent distro; it is not based on Debian, Fedora, or Ubuntu and is developed and carefully maintained by its own team. Available software: Solus programs as well as Flathub. This gives it a very large repertoire of all programs available in the Linux world. Solus is fast, very stable, and unfortunately goes largely unnoticed. I advise against the in-house Budgie version. In my opinion, it is no longer up to date. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.9 Rating: 7 Date: 2026-04-22 Country: Germany Votes: 0 der erste Eindruck - die Version "Budgie" lässt sich auf einem PC mit i7 - 3770 - 16GB und einer nVidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti nicht im Livemodus booten und somit auch nicht installieren. Die KDE-Version dagegen problemlos und auch das Nachinstallieren von proprietären Treibern für die GTX 1050 war absolut stressfrei und danach ein wunderbares stabiles System welches mich enorm beeindruckt hat. Ich habe auch die Xfce und Gnome Versionen getestet - Installation war bei beiden problemlos aber nach der Installation der proprietären nVidia-Treiber (580) für die GTX 1050 war nach dem Reboot nur noch Kommandozeile und kein Desktop mehr verfügbar. Ich werde die KDE-Version weiter verwenden, bis auf Kleinigkeiten (NumLock aktiv in den KDE-Einstellungen) läuft dieses System bisher extrem schnell und stabil. Auch das umfangreiche und einfach zu installierende Softwareangebot ist ganz positiv hervorzuhaben. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 252 reader reviews of Solus...
