Is this the best Distro created so far? It's Solus BTW.

>>57452210
I put that on my laptop the other night too.
It's nice, but it has a severe lack of software available for it now.
Give it a year or so for it to catch up and it might just be a contender among the mainstream distros.

Right now I'm sticking with arch. The AUR is far too useful not to use it.
Plus you can install the desktop environment that Solus on arch anyways. There are instructions on their website.

>>57452259
What software was missing for you?
It has everything I need/want so far, but I guess what works for me won't work for everyone else...

>>57452210
Looks like a kids version of Windows 10 with a shittier menu.

>>57452277
Discord, Mono, Monodevelop, a freaking terminal application (I may have missed it but I couldn't find one in the software center.), a fair few other minor pieces of software I use for customisation.

>>57452259
>>57452304
its open source so you can create the package scripts and contribute them to the project.

>>57452304
It has a terminal? There's a shortcut in my image in the op actually, right next to Chrome.

Not sure about the other 3 though as I've never had to use them, but it is open source so you can just make the package scripts and submit them to be added to the repositories.

>>57452311
I could, you're right. I'm more loyal to arch though, I'd rather do that sort of thing for Arch.
IF some other people pick up and help him out to get more software available then great.
But for me, the only thing I really find appealing about the whole thing is the Budgie DE
Which I can put on arch anyways.
And I don't think it'd be a permanent replacement for I3 either.

>>57452326
Hmm, you're right. I'll have to check see if I missed it.

>>57452329

>>57452340
If you're happy with Arch, I'd probably say stick with it. I just like solus because it ships with the nicest DE(in my opinion) and it's the fastest/snappiest distro I've tried.

>arctic monkeys

>>57452359
Fair enough.
Arch is faster for me, but it takes a lot of setup.
And again, the DE works on Arch just fine.
Heck it could potentially be better since Budgie is GNOME based so I can use tools on arch to customise it further.

>>57452419
Works out the box, ships with a nice DE, is fast and snappy, easy to use/learn, few (if any) bugs.

>>57452326
Yeah ok, my installation does have a terminal.
I think my frustration came with not knowing whether it had a package manager like pacman or apt.

>>57452326
Mono version 4.2.3.4 is on the repository.
GNOME Terminal installed by default in the Budgie version.

No monodevelop and no flatpak either so no luck there I guess.

It's actually really nice, but as others have said, it's still lacking a bit in the software department. Certain libraries are missing from their repos and I can never get Wine to work as well as it does on Arch. I am keeping an eye on it though, it's improving constantly.

I love it so far.

Has most of the stuff I use in the standard repository. Tear free out of the gate and Very fast. Installed on a newer Asus and an oldass HP Elitebook so far. No issues.


They are working on a way to finally have good support for laptops with optimus now. Which would be amazing.

>>57452210
Installed it a few days ago. It's fucking amazing and the best distro so far.

>>57452210
It runs surprisingly smooth on my d2500. Ubuntu MATE, Mint, and Fedora E17 never ran this smooth.

I'm really happy with it.
Also boots up really fucking fast.

Solus has Discord you dope. Not sure about the others though, you could always ask in the irc chat in #solus or #solus-chat

Manjaro + Xfce is most comfiest and best distro so far for me. YMMV. Use what fits you.

>>57452662
Does it support gnome theming?
>>57452675
Not that I could find.
Doesn't really matter though, I'm going to stick with Arch.

Uses up to 260-300mb of ram from what I've seen.

I didn't say that. I just asked when you would stop your own shilling. You should pay more attention in your English classes.

>>57454627
I've only made two threads on Solus in the span of like a week. All the other threads are just those spreading the good word. :)

Just installed it, currently trying it. Already an issue: the mouse arrow flickers all the time and there's noticeavle input lag. What's up with that?

Is it a DE you can install on other distros?

when I sudo pacman -S budgie nothing happens. so i guess not for me

Not sure if this is trollin or paid shills or if it actually is good.

Is it debian?fedora?or arch based?

>>57455183
It's not flicker over text, the mouse cursor literally vlinks all the time. Currently updating distro, hope that helps

>>57455192
It's a distro built from the ground up, really well, with its own DE, also built really well.

Boots up in under 3s for example

>>57455217
>distro built from the ground up

>>57452210
I have used Budgie with Arch. I might go back to t as soon as alot of the bugs are fixed. For example you can't even go into fullscreen without the top panel being in the way. not sure if this has been fixed yet.

>>57455221
But why? Solus itself runs much better.

>>57455215
Try disabling the setting anyways, I had the same issue on a laptop until I did that

>>57455250

>>57455269

Give me an honest answer to the following:

Is it buggy?
Is it buggier than Ubuntu?

>>57455368
>is it buggy
Not really, not in the few weeks I've been using it.

>>57455368
>is it buggier than Ubuntu
I didn't have any bugs on Ubuntu MATE.
You mean unity?

>>57455381
Yeah, the buggy pos unity

>>57455418
It's much smoother and more stable than unity

>>57452210
We've had this thread everyday for weeks now, please stop shilling.

You can install budgie in arch and whatever optimizations that solus does can be done in any distro. Use arch or void pls bois.

I recommend giving midori a try. It's actually stable on Solus, not sure how and why. It used to crash so much on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Windows.

No arguing there. Until you try to do something basic, like, try to compile rust from git with all its dependencies (after precompiled binary fails to run).

Solus has this distinct chromeos feel. Looks nice, is built for stability. But don't you dare to use it as a linux distro instead of just web browser.

Budgie is fucking awesome, lightweight, comfy and good looking.
Looking forward to try other distros with this DE.

Welp, I updated some drivers and now GRUB doesn't recognize my Win7 install. As usual with any Linux distro, too many little annoying bugs trigger me hard. It looked nice though, so that's something.

I guess it's just a Linux thing that sometimes happens? My Solus install has been fine so far, even though I've only been using it for 4 days now.

I just moved taskbar to the bottom though and made it a bit smaller (as thin as it could get without the icons resizing).
Other than that it's mostly stock everything and it's nice

This is why I'm always hesitant to do updates on any OS. A clean install of the latest version is what I'd go with if I felt the bed to update.

Ok, now you have to qualify that statement with facts and not just your personal opinions on the matter, of course you won't be able to do that because there's no comparative that you can actually present to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Solus is better than Ubuntu because - TADA! - it's still going to be your personal opinions.

CentOS7 + MATE = rock solid OS for pretty much anything.

Update grub you dipshit its literally one command.

I just wanted to ask but how did you change your font?

>>57468385
you mean the terminal font? just go into iterm settings
I haven't changed any other fonts

>>57468396
I meant system font. Changing terminal font is easy but I just can't figure out how to change system font. Why does it have to be so difficult.

>>57468408
well idk I can't help you I didn't change mine

>>57468418
It's ok and thanks anyways.

>>57468408

>Why does it have to be so difficult.

BECAUSE IT'S LINUX, YOU FUCKING MORON, IF IT WAS EASY IT WOULD BE CALLED WINDOWS

>change system font in Windows in 10 seconds or less

I really would like to try it but I'm too invested in gentoo to make the jump. Budgie is nice to use, though.

>>57452210
Nice shill thread once again...
The Budgie desktop is a wannabe Cinnamon desktop. I don't know anything about the package manager of Solus, but it can't be as good as pacman

>>57452210
once it has something comparable to KDE connect i'll switch over. I want to use budgie but that phone integration is too useful to me.

>>57469715
It's not, it's an apt clone. I shit on Arch a lot--partially due to past experience and partially because shitposting makes me hard--but pacman is fucking glorious. I'm not super thrilled about its flag heavy interface (muh -Syyu) because I end up reading the man pages for it every other day, but it's better than everything else in every way that matters.

Though I suppose it's not hard to beat apt.

False.

nvidia has eglstream for wayland, so there really isn't a excuse any more to not work on it.

linux is actually easier than windows if you don't use a dogshit distro

>that (You) count
I've been wondering what all the fucking "here's your (you)" bullshit has been about, and now I see it's some autistic cunt keeping track like it's god damn reddit.
fuck (You).

>>57467574
but ugly desu

>>57459725
Nice, but why this ugly gnome icon theme?

>>57471065
No, you're the autistic one. The "here's your (You)" thing has been a joke for a very long time.
Since it's obviously your first week here I would recommend you search through r/4chan until you learn what it means. Also it might teach you how to properly reply to posts.

I don't think you know what a long time is, homeslice.

What makes it better than Debian and distros based off of Debian?
