Been using Solus now for a good while. have been moving an install about between laptops / desktops booting from a T5 SSD and its a really good solution.
latest laptop is a Dell Precision 5530 i9. it was working fine until i applied the latest updates from eopkg
after update I lost all wifi after a reboot with the networkmanager logs in a loop of device unavailable, device unmanaged every few seconds. the wifi entry in settings also popped in an out.
I rolled back to pre update and rebooted and it fixed it instantly.
Operation #35: takeback

i also had a lot of issues with evolution mail authing against o365 on the ews plugin that is usually time related.
I doubt git, ff, icons, and libreoffice are the culprits. money is probably on linux-firmware.
wifi adapter is : 3b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29)
so boots from kernel.
Other than a hang on shutdown which i think is the dummy nvidia driver it all works perfectly now. even thunderbolt seems to detect..
