Kevin you left for about 4 months right? What made you come back? I personally enjoy your flavor of autism, keep it up.

no go away

>>59527650
GF and I broke up about two weeks ago. I have more free time now.

>>59527711

She was a slut anyways Kev. Solus is your GF now.

>>59527720
I'm currently talking with this one girl but I'm not too interested in her anymore so now I'm branching out and talking with other girls, but yeah, Solus is my GF for now.

I think I'll pass kevin.

Because I use Gentoo

>>59527618
no x86 support

>>59528067

Why would anyone want that piece of shit?

>>59528082
Because it's the best DE out there, and definitely better than Buggie.

Also

Why should i switch to it from xubuntu?

no 128bit support

I already have Fedora installed. Otherwise I probably would.

>>59528067
>no xfce
Lol. It's last release was 4.12 which was February 28, 2015.

>no clementine
Clementine relies on QtWebkit for Qt4 and does not support Qt5. QtWebkit is deprecated in Qt4 and no longer supported. Solus has the newest Qt (in fact, Budgie 11 is based on Qt and will be released Q2 of 2017), so until the Clementine devs update to Qt5 (they say April), Solus won't have it, but it will have it once Clementine is Qt5.

>no knowledgeable community
All Linux communities have this. There are many members in the community that help out the people who don't really know much.

>community members that open invalid tickets because they are too dumb to install ffmpegthumbnailer, wasting the devs already limited time
This isn't really an issue anymore.

>>59528211
It's faster and has active desktop development.

>>59528357
>xfce is old hurrdurr
Not a valid argument. XFCE is superior to buggie in every way.

>Solus won't have it, but it will
That's nice, still no xfce though, or cinnamon.

>All sizable Linux communities have this
Solus does not. Empty forums, most issues remain unresolved and that's if they even get a reply at all.

>This isn't really an issue anymore.
It is as long as you're using Solus kev my boy.

>>59528211
Do you like XFCE? Do you like having lots of software available? If you answered yes to either, you shouldn't switch.

>>59528459
>not a valid argument.
Yes it is, Budgie has active development.

>XFCE is superior to Budgie in every way
How?

>That's nice
So I answered your question then and you're content with that

>still no xfce though, or cinnamon
True, but if there's a MATE version, I'm sure there'll be an XFCE and Cinnamon version, and probably a GNOME and KDE version too.

>Solus does not
http://asksolus.com/

And your last thing isn't even an argument.

>itt autism
oh cmon...

I tried budgie. What's the point? Why do we need yet another win-98 model DE? It's neither technically novel nor novel with UX nor lightweight nor ...

If the answer is "just for fun" then I can accept that happily but it seems deeper than that.

Bloated.

>>59528511
>Yes it is, Budgie has active development.
Still not an argument. It doesn't matter if a piece of shit is actively being shat out, it's still a piece of shit.

>How?
More plugins, better customization, quicker, literally everything buggie tries, xfce does better.

>So I answered your question then and you're content with that
Lol, sure, does that upset you? All this 'b-but in t-the future..' talk is nice and all, but it doesn't help me now.

>I'm sure
Sorry kevin, but you're the guy that opened an invalid ticket because you were too dense to install ffmpegthumbnailer, I don't exactly trust your judgment, I'm sure you understand. Also, future talk is meaningless now.

>http://asksolus.com/
4 pages of unanswered questions, let's not even focus on unsolved, these are not even answered, dating back to November 2016!! You're proving my point lad.

>>59528128

What's the point of maintaining your own linux distro, if all you wanted was a nice dekstop theme? Could you not have created a nice theme for Ubuntu or Fedora?

>>59528817
Prove me wrong, you can't.

>>59528690
>Still not an argument. It doesn't matter if a piece of shit is actively being shat out, it's still a piece of shit.
Surely you mean XFECES, right? Budgie is the best Linux DE available right now, Seconded by MATE.

>>59528834
Because it's built from the ground up.

Solus with budgie desktop looks great, uses little resources, and performs really well even on weaker hardware.

350MB ram on boot, 4 seconds boot time for my laptop.

I've got it running on an Intel atom d2550 at home too and it works really well.

Why would I use a unfinished OS? I'm not impatient, so waiting won't be a problem.

>>59527618
Are you the real dev? I'm gonna try solus soon. It sounds great.

>>59530436
No I'm just a fan who genuinely really enjoys Solus, and you should try it out soon, and it is really great :)

>>59530113
Tbh I would say it is basically finished, it's just they keep making it better. It's official first release was at the end of 2015.

>>59532514
Hi :)

>>59527618
For what reason should I install it over Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, and Arch?

>>59532601
Because it's worth trying at least and seeing if you like it or not. If you don't like it then don't use it, I'm not forcing you to use it. All feedback is appreciated (unless fake) why you like it or not. :)

>>59532642
There's no reason to even bother, I'm content with Gentoo.

Also, is this you? https://www.reddit.com/user/kevinarefunny

>>59527618
Because my name isn't Kevin, which is a synonym for being retarded in europe (not even kidding)

>>59532658
If you're content with Gentoo then it's fine. I'm recommending it to people who aren't content with their current distro and want something else or have the urge to try something else and land on what's best for them. I agree Solus isn't for everyone, especially with so many choices, but it definitely has it's place, especially as the desktop distro. Also, big if true.

Solus GNU/Linux is a botnet and Kevin spies on you

It looks gorgeous.

>>59527618
macOS already does this

>>59536480
Right now, trying to build fprintd for eopkg is outside of my packaging skill range, but you can either build it from source or request it from the Solus devs. I just spent a good chunk of time trying to package it, but I'm still new to this stuff and that's a pretty complex package.

You can start with drawing over an image. I was autistic and made this awhile ago, but once you start, you can kind of start to free hand it and it just kind of falls into place, or just draw over it but add your own flair to it.

lol yes he was, and he failed to install gentoo too

I'm waiting for the Qt rewrite and will install budgie then. I hope that will make the theme situation for Qt programs better.

>>59539581
No, I faked my Gentoo screenfetches when I ran Ubuntu earlier last year. I also compiled my own kernels though for a short period of time

Exactly, you failed to install it, so you faked your screenfetch with an alias.

Then anon found your profiles and you've been a running gag ever since.

>>59539602
I'm kind of interested if it will end up with kwin or if it will have its own compositor. I think kwin is the only compositor/wm Qt has, so some competition is welcome.

>>59539612
I never tried to install it, and I don't plan on installing it. I only did it because people would ask "Unity on Gentoo???"

And I am NOT a running gag !!

>>59532692
>it definitely has it's place
Not really, it doesn't specialize in anything like OpenElec etc do. It doesn't do anything particularly well either... It tries to be the 'jus werks' desktop, but does it so much worse than Ubuntu or even Mint. There is literally no reason for this to exist other than some hobby project.

You can't make the "Ubuntu is Bloat" argument if your Distro comes with a DE.

If Solus and SolusOS are the same thing :

Its a Distro created solely to keep gnome2/gtk2 alive by combining and mirroring code from debian 6 and incorporating kernels and security patches from debian 7.

After only a few alphas, and 2 official releases, it cancels this idea and moves to gnome3 and takes the repos offline for the gnome2/gtk2 based older versions.

Why does this exist again against a pure debian or ubuntu install?
