brent ...overall aesthetics....
.... extraordinary stock wallpapers...
This may sound frivolous or silly, but I do too. I like the Solus logo, I like that in the Solus repo you can find lovely icons like Kora, Papirus, La Capitaine... and some of the stock wallpapers are so beautiful, that I have used them even on Windows 10 (blasphemy!). It's not the main reason why I like Solus, and in theory you can modify the looks of any distro, but still, I like the look of Solus.
