Alright, so what do you /g/tards actually think about solus? I know there's plenty of shitposts about this distro but how do you think it'll shape up to be in the future? It seems to do well in a few aspects and struggle in others. I personally think it might turn out to be a really good distro if they can get their shit together. Future looks bright though, what would it take to make Solus a top tier distro like Ubuntu or Fedora?

The good
>Independent Distro
>new package manager
>seemingly great performance optimizations
>budgie (can be a con as well but they have support for other DEs)
>rolling release

The bad
>piss poor package availability
>Small team of developers
>no wayland
>rolling release
>>
is this Windows 10?

>>57741109
just another linux distro

i don't see why /g/ is so obsessed with shilling distributions. they are all the same shit just managed differently

Pros: it exists
Cons: so does lost of stuff that is better documented
Neutral: its the same shit

>>57741109
It's semi-rolling and that's a good thing. No outdated as shit packages holding you back when you're developing, while less chance of it breaking on you. Still, Solus is a meme distro as it stands.

support .deb

>Not documenting and cherry picking dependencies

do people really just use whatever their package-manager is spewing out? Do developers not know how to compile, really?

They must get really fucked if they realize their stuff should be portable

>>57741109
i just finished installing this on a VM and it's literally fedora

Looks like shit m8.

Also

>linux
>using anything besides apt-get

I want to be productive mate. a shitty no-package-available package manger is the last thing I want.

Fuck off trying to diving users further. I don't want your brand new untested shit tier package manger, just give me apt-get.

>>57741388
maybe you should learn how to use computers properly before complaining that other package managers don't spoon feed you
>>
>>57741388
apt-get is deprecated
use apt

I've been using Solus for the past 6 years and honestly I don't think it needs that many changes, It Just works how it is and it's absolutely fantastic.
