Oh this is cool. I am new to the Linux desktop, but not the terminal. I love how you can use either the keyboard or mouse on everything. I also love that you wrap the command like eopkg and you mention flatpak coming. That should keep things working better. I tried Gnome Software and Discover. They are pretty and yeah nice to see a screenshot sometimes, but that is not hard to do if needed.
I am still getting my feet wet with Solus, but I am loving the community and the distro is more my style. I am not a fan of Canonical or Red Hat so this has been fun to be on something that is outside of them. Liked Arch, but this is just more my speed.
