Is Solus The Best Desktop Distro Currently For Linux Beginners?

>>58110051
There is nothing compelling whatsoever for me to use Solus. Why should I?

>>58110359
Are you looking for a stable distro that much werks, is fast, efficient, and stable while also being bleeding edge and having optimisation's no other distro does?

If the answer to that is no, then you have no compelling reason whatsoever to use Solus.

>>58110524

but seriously, I already have that.

It's good for beginners. It's easy to install and comes with plenty of good software.

Honestly so much better than other distros (regarding issues, not performance) thanks to their optimised runtimes.

You'll probably also see a 1-3 fps performance gain, and better drivers because muh bleeding edge.

After someone complained about csgo, ikey bought it himself to do some tests and fixed it up. Really good development community.

I don't game on computers. I would just buy an xbone for that.

But it's linux so i would imagine if steam will run on ubuntu it will run on solus too.

Because the package manager has almost no packages. You never have to wonder if the package manager has a certain piece of software because it never has. It simplifies the process because it makes you find a way to deal without it

The butthurt levels are off the charts.

It must be a disgruntled Arch or Ubuntu user.

Or a Fedora user who saw the boot times on Solus :^)

Can someone tell me about this kevinnet meme shit?
Just give it to me straight, I'm not really feeling like having to look all over the place for this shit, last time I did I didn't find jack.

I just installed Solus after my HDD blew up, seemed pretty clean, few QOL things I'm missing but that's about it.

>>58116997
Just a meme to scare people away from Solus because /g/ autists hate software that just werks.

It's one anon spamming his shit though, so just ignore it.

>>58110051
I'm installing LFS with wayland kde, openrc, linux-libre, minimal gnu userland and a lot of material design stuff, feels good to not be a distro cuck

>>58117485
It also feels good not being autistic.

Holy shit learn how to type, dumb millenial.

Holy shit.

>>58110359
To learn the autistic new package manager,and it commands

>not just using pacman

>>58116997
kevin was the first solus shill. Aftward the shilling exploded,so they called it botnet since it unknown origins.

>try to use xinitrc to see the set up
>no xinitrc
>no pacman

>suppose to be arch,yet uses a different package manger

>>58118808
>suppose to be Arch
But anon, Solus is unbreakable.

Trust me on that, my mom uses it and it's been the best month of my life ever since she wanted my help to buy her a pc.

>>58118829
how do you break a OS,and much less arch fag?

>>58118765
Holy shit.
Learn how to type, you dumb millennial.

>>58118838
Update Arch, it usually breaks everything.

>>58118890
no it doesn't the only thing you might get is an update without an up to date key.

>>58118838
Arch has a reputation for breaking for a reason.
Yeah, it's greatly exaggerated by idiots who never used it, but it's still true to some extent.

>>58118905
Haha! You 4chan "Arch works" trolls. Arch is a error simulator for people who enjoy recreational tech support on their own computers. Because you always get such exotic errors and nobody is more unhelpful, evil and rude than arch users. It's like people on /b/ if everyone was an asshole.

The best you can hope for is a "Look in the wiki" where there of course are no solutions.

>>58118963
I used Arch, it's good for people who want to learn and need an excuse for reading documentation and rewriting config files.

You know your low quality shilling actually drives people off Solus, right? You are doing nothing right, not even Ikey likes you.

>>58118975
Arch has the best wiki of any distro I've ever seen or tried.
Yeah, it breaks really easily, but it's also super easy to fix usually thanks to the wiki.

You're right though, it is a learning distro.

>>58119011
>Arch has the best wiki of any distro I've ever seen or tried.

Still does not solve 99% of the issues you might run into on arch. Sound works, but only for 244 seconds after running some media file until you reboot? no solutions in the wiki. No internet when installing? no solutions in the wiki, the only thing it says is "connect ethernet" but that has never worked any of the times I have tried. There are no solutions in the wiki for that, need to be creative and do some hacks to be able to install arch.

>>58119078
>only for 244 seconds after running some media file until you reboot?
It comes back on after the 245th second
>No internet when installing? no solutions in the wiki
If you type sudo give internet Arch will give you internet

Solus BTFO lel

>>58119078
Ancient hardware is usually an issue on Arch.

I haven't had any issues on machines using hardware past 2010, and I've installed it successfully on at least 8 different machines.

And from my own personal experience, it's much more stable than my previous distros. As I started out with Linux as my main desktop about 2 years ago, Arch is the one I've stayed with the longest purely out of stability. Ubuntu eventually shat itself, and Mint started popping up "An error has occured" messages all day, seemingly out of nowhere.

Arch has been trouble-free for me. My only actual issue with it is I had troubles re-installing Nvidia drivers when changing my GPU. Ended up reinstalling the entire system, but that was a quick and painless process since I kept my home partition in-tact. Was back up and running with all my rice and customizing within 30 minutes.

>>58118890
Fucking retard , stop spreading this meme , I've been updating Arch almost daily for months and I haven't broken shit, also it's not like you cant have track of what you're updating to install previous versions if something happens, you have to be a complete mongoloid to get this kind of shit, also documentation is larger than any other distro by far, something that solus babies wouldn't know since everything is spoon-fed to them.

>>58119118
Fuck off, Kevin.

>>58119078
>Still does not solve 99% of the issues you might run into on arch.
It does actually.

>>58110051
Pretty much, yeah.

>>58110051
Debian + Cinnamon
Debian + Gnome3

You can never go wrong with the above. Largest collection of packages and apt is very easy to use even for a retard like me.
