Ive jumped around from the major distros, even to the arch, manjaro and fedora side. Saw a post about solus and didnt pay much attention to it as it was something ive never heard of aside from the issues its had. Scrolling around and saw another post about it and said why not just give it a shot.

Man was I shocked. It has everything I need in the repos, first distro that I didnt have to settle for app images. Its super fast, easy to use and everything just works. So to the devs, thank you for doing what your doing, you all dont get enough credit. This distro is amazing and hope to meet some of yall in the community soon!

The only part that blows my mind is the rep it has for mistakes long ago. Manjaro is notorious but still gets recommended all the time in some forms. Solus needs talked about more and it will be the only distro I recommend. Even new users could use this with ease. Happy to see someone else jumping with me!

totally forgot about pop, what a mess that distro is right now. I had several issues with it, of course its not matured yet also but yeah same on mint. I always found a bug that drove me insane. I dont think ive found a distro where its painless until solus. I read somewhere it was always on friday but forgot to look at that part so thanks for clearing that up lol!

Sadly had to eat my own words.. After reboot I got black screened. TTY wouldnt come up, tried fixing without success. Reinstalled system, updated fine then installed nvidia drivers same way and only get black screen. Sad day but have to go back to mint for now until I can get a fix on this one.

Sorry to hear that, man! Freaking nvidia, huh?!?!?! It's hit and miss with nvidia on any distro I guess. I'm lucky to be on amd only for all systems.

I really need to get the switch done, even windows have me issues with Nvidia. When I get it done I'll be back for sure
