TBH, as a previous Solus user, I don’t think I’d go back.
Part of the rise of the Linux desktop is that I have options that are stable, supported, and likely won’t vanish into the ether anytime soon. Feels bad to think, but, eh, I’m just too old for anything else. 😀
That makes sense. Though I prefer the customizability of Plasma I really liked Budgie’s default experience when I last played around with it. Combined with the intuitive package manager, I can definitely see the potential - the current major simple / beginner-friendly distros feel a bit dated and/or have some frustrating design choices so I’m happy to have Solus as a competitor in that niche. I hope they’re able to make the move to Wayland and expand their package repo.
