>>57511455
To make a distro that just works I guess? Apple are pricing themselves out of any sensible persons range, win 10 is garbage. A distro built from the ground up for normie use is a good thing at this time imo

Lol.

>Solus
Has the best package manager (eopkg), has a great community, easy install process, perfect and sane defaults, and it's custom DE built specifically for Solus. Perfect for the people who use Linux just as any other normal OS, and also for the hard core Linux users. Literally the perfect distro.

No, but if someone wants to install Linux, and they decide to use Arch, they might think the install process is retarded. No one wants to manually install an OS, they would much rather do a GUI installation. Imagine if they were coming from Windows. It's not that you're too stupid to do it, it's just a waste of time.

I installed Solus after it was shilled. I installed it to a RAM disk and it did boot somewhat quickly (but not impressively quickly)

Outside of that, it seemed to be an OS designed for absolute plebs. Would not use.

I still don't get why they put the taskbar on top. When Budgie looked like a Chrome OS clone was when it looked its best. Then they just slapped on the Arc theme and called it a day.

Unless there's a global menu and/or the window controls appear in the taskbar on maximization there's no need to put the taskbar on top.

From what I understand, most of that "just werks" stuff is tied to the Budgie DE itself, not so much Solus

Looking at Solus at the core it seems more like it's the base kernel with a hot new package manager that uses different keywords to differentiate itself from dpkg and pacman. And even then, am I retarded for thinking DEs are just a visual way to do what a terminal command could easily do on it's own? If that's the case, then why use Solus when you could just use, say, Ubuntu with the Budgie DE? You get the same commands you can easily google from multiple different sources with the same look of the OS itself, would you not?

That's what makes it interesting, in my opinion. It's not supposed to be your first distro, or maybe even your second. You're supposed to use a beginner-friendly distro like Ubuntu or Mint to get your feet wet and decide if you like Linux. Then, if you decide you want to go deeper, you install Arch. The point is for it to be a learning experience.
