Lots of cool stuff has come from this small team. I tried solus a couple years back and liked it but didn't get too deep. I'd like to hear more about why I should use Solus over Debian/arch/whatever. It looks like they have a new kernel and lots of up-to-date packages, but what sets it apart? The package manager? The desktop environment (budgie) is available on other distributions so thats probably not the killer feature. Who can fill me in? |

Solus calls itself a curated rolling release. You get a stable, pretty, desktop OS which is continuously updated.
Package manager (eopkg) does what it says on the tin, is not radical or interesting (in my opinion).
Budgie is snappy and clean with a slight Windows aftertaste.
Another plus for Solus is transparent development. Take a look around:
