I am a long time windows 10 user that is fully accustomed to the Office 365 ecosystem. Solus is my first Linux and I have been using it in the last two weeks. So far, my Solus froze one time because I opened too many applications.
I was actually eyeing for Zorin because of a recommendation from a colleague. He showed me their beautiful landing page and I was sold immediately. I can say the same with Elementary OS and Pop!OS.... Just visit their websites and you will know what I mean. They are neck-and-neck in DistroWatch ranking. Solus is more stable. But to be honest, I chose Solus also because its name sounds familiar, professional, and reliable.
Installing Solus was a breeze in my Thinkpad. No hiccups and everything works out of the box. Challenges arisen from configuring the gestures, DE, and keyboard shortcuts. I learned that I should not try to mimic win10 UX for the sake of my muscle memory. It is important for first time users to try to understand and accept the default settings in Solus (and Linux). Yet, the process of configuring forces me to learn the terminal. At this stage, guidance from experienced users is needed.
Office 365 in desktop is far too superior to LibreOffice. Its online version is not a fair substitute for those who relied on complicated MS Office functions and tools. For this reason, I am still dual-booting to taper-off my attachment to the MS ecosystem.
