> I bet Linux, whatever distro you use, wasn’t right for you to begin with; but you made it yours by tweaking it to your liking.

In my case, absolutely not. I'm using Solus (Budgie) on my notebook and that's because it suits me basically OOTB. What I do have though is a headless NixOS server to which I connect with VSCode for a dev environment. But I wouldn't use NixOS on desktop when Solus is a much better choice, best of both world in my opinion.

What’s special about Solus? Looking at its website, it looks like any other standard Linux distro.
Not the person you are asking but Solus is just very solid. There is nothing super special about it but it is one of the few distros I have ever used that "just works."
I thought so too, but every time I tried to move on to something else it didn't last and I always went back to Solus. It's just well put together, a recipe like any other, but with a pinch of love I guess. Something you wouldn't get just by looking at a menu.
