Thoughts on Solus? Is it a good distro? Looks pretty sweet.

>>57561593
fuck off Kevin

>>57561659
Ok

>>57561593
ignore the kevin comments. it is hands down the best distro right now. in a couple of months it will blow up on distrowatch

It's pronouced "so loose".

Fuck off Kevin

>>57561737
Yet you are not using it.

I used solus last year. It still needs improvements

shill

Never tried it, I guess I will try it out right now.

>>57562581
Just tried to install it on a virtual machine, didn't work. Solus is garbage.

>>57562851
It does work on a virtual machine, but it is garbage anyway. OS is made for total noobs.

>>57562881
then what OS to use

What's going to be the next flavor of the month distro?

>>57563123
Arch Linux.

Can we start banning this threads?

>>57561593
Just use ubuntu or debian like a normal human being with a job.

Alternatively if you're a NEET use arch.

Seriously, pick any of the 3 listed and stop trying operational systems like they are a pair of socks.

>>57561593
It's the best distro! Simply the best!!

>>57561593

how much are they paying you for this

>>57561593
Guess what, Ubuntu is getting an official Budgie version. So there's no reason to use Solus.

>>57561593
It's a really good distro.
Absolutely destroys the competition at most things which is why it's getting so much hate on /g/.

These basement dwelling morons hate good shit that works well and enjoy broken shit that they need to fix up themselves

>>57569213
Why fuck didn't you shoop Kevin's face onto Bond while you were changing the text you piece of shit?

I read that Solus is one of the only distributioms to use AVX2 instructions, the other being Clear Linux.

If I have a i5 that doesn't have AVX2 can I still make use of what my CPU has?

>>57561593
>Thoughts on Solus?

This is the saddest meme attempt I have ever seen

Fuck off already, your distro has no packages and Budgie doesn't have workspaces.

>>57570429
Don't really give a fuck about solus because it has fuck all momentum behind it, but who even uses workspaces? I've never needed them

What do you use them for?

>>57570429

I installed Budgie on a fresh arch install yesterday for the hell of it.

I had it gone in fifteen minutes. It's like a roughdraft of a DE. There's no settings menu aside from a side panel and shit it steals from gnome.

So it's basically a really shitty cinnamon.

Good Ubuntu as in it's not using Ubuntu as it's base, but it's own separate thing.

>>57571077
You gotta be fucking kidding

>>57561593
Installed it last night on my T420.

It's pretty good but it needs some polish and more packages before I'm willing to trade it for my main OS.

>>57569917
Yes.

It uses what it can, if your cpu doesn't support avx2 then it leaves it disabled.

people got tired of shitting on arch so they're looking for some reason to hate a not-so-big distro now, so when it gets kinda big, they can say they hated it before it was popular

>>57574796
stop hating on people for having opinions, anon

>>57575462
They also hate it because they don't like things that just work without needing any considerable effort and looks nice otb.

Their only skill is being able to install Arch so it physically hurts them when others use a distro that's easy to setup and use.

Budgie could still use some work still, but Solus has great potential.

You can already use Budgie on Ubuntu and it runs fine.

>>57577025
>>57577080
Solus purportedly boots much faster.

But you get access to much more software on Ubuntu.

Choices choices

>>57575725
>can't spell Solus
Idk what he's smoking but I'll have some of what you're on.

>>57577091
Not just boot. Everything loads much faster on solus, you'll really feel it on weaker hardware with slower r/w.

From the moment I press the button to the login screen is like 10s on my HTPC, and my boot drive is an old 150GB raptor.
It feels as fast as my laptop which is running Ubuntu MATE off an SSD.

I tried Solus out for myself.

It was resource intensive, lacking in repositories and the UI was stupid.

I didn't hate it, though. I didn't start to hate it until Kevinfags started shilling it nonstop.

why the fuck do solus threads appear so often

it's fucking arch with a DE

who fucking cares

Runs fine on my d2500, which makes me think you never actually tried it...

>>57579419
>Arch with a DE
LOL NO.
It was built from the ground up buddy, built from scratch.

been using it since release, pretty comfy. I don't consider myself a ----PoWeRuSeR----, I just write small C programs because I'm learning, also browse the web, and play some OpenTTD.

it does that perfectly, its software center is decent although it could use more soft.

but it okay

8/10, could be a 9 if they fix some of the shitty gnome-related bugs.

>>57577163
Oh I felt it alright.

My shitty 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 with 1.5GB of RAM REALLY felt it.

It felt like shit.

I used to shil.. I mean use this all the time as a kid!

Yup

Can budgie maximize apps into a new workspace like OSX? I fucking love this feature on OSX but none DE so far can do this.

>>57584718
I feel bad for kevin desu

>>57584793
Budgie was created by combining all the features of all major DEs including osx.
If there's something another DE can do, so can budgie.

>>57586975

Why do anons ask silly distro questions when you can install ALL of them in virtual machines, run them at once, and find what you like best?

You could use other DEs on Solus you know, they support gnome 3, MATE, and i3.

>>57589360
You could as well.

>>57589388
Yeah.
I might switch over to MATE soon. Budgie is really nice, but it does feel incomplete.

>>57561593
It's pretty sweet.
Like a good ubuntu.
Or a poor Arch.
Or a really shitty Gentoo.

>>57589864
I would say easy arch instead since its still bleeding edge but not unstable, even when you do updates.

I think we all know how bad updates can potentially be on Arch.

I've been using Solus as my daily driver for a few weeks now and no other linux distro comes close to this.

>>57590045
I used arch for years, and never had it break anything even once.
I've used Solus as a live usb just to try out budgie desktop. Chose Solus because it's also a new independent distro.

>>57590081
Are you using budgie, or mate?

I was blown away at how fast and snappy solus is, but I feel like budgie stop needs a bit more work. I am considering installing mate but idk yet

Fuck off Kevin

>>57590106
You're lucky.

I've had my Wi-Fi drivers for my laptop break on Fedora and Arch when updating.
Fucking broadcom.

>>57590126
>lucky
More like you're believing memes.

>>57590108
budgie, seems pretty good but I don't care about customising it.

My only gripe is that packaging for this distro lacks proper docs and seemingly no targets, for example I tried packaging something but literally nothing (gcc, patch, etc) was installed and each had to be got one by one rather than a package group (eg base-devel, build-essnetial, etc) and there was no way to clean up after other than using pm history and dumping it in a text file and editing that all down in to a list to remove with the pm.

It's a far cry from the simplicity and completeness of makepkg, that really needs to be fixed.

>>57590171
It's not the customization.
My main issue is that I can't add program shortcuts to the desktop.
Or that maybe I'm too stupid to figure it out.

Other than that it's a really nice DE and integrated extremely well within Solus.

>>57590165
No. My Wi-Fi driver broke.

>>57590171
To install the gcc and other linux tools all it takes is sudo eopkg it -c system.devel

>>57590274
I must have missed that.
But how to clean up the build deps after? I eneded up with about 200 devel packages installed and no clear/easy way to remove them. Devel packages are dumb enough but it's super unhelpful when they are left around and can affect other builds.

>>57590305
I'm not sure, you'd have to ask Ikey, Josh, or Justin in the #solus channel on the freenode network

>>57590353
>not kevin

>>57590353
I'm reading over it again and it seems like "evobuild" is the way to go: https://wiki.solus-project.com/EvoBuild

Kinda annoying to have to use and keep a chroot up to date to build packages but w/e. It seems my usual way of just having the pm install deps, build the package and then remove the deps isn't supported.

Anyone having a twitch stream of somebody running Solus?

>>57567975
No its more than that.
The fat little fuck used ubuntu but aliased his screenfetch and spammed a gentoo box in desktop threads making out he was something special and he got caught out.

looks like fedora
performs fast
lacks a lot of customization
it just werks
