salexandarz Manjaro definitely

Yeah, Manjaro was pretty good, IMHO. For many of the same reasons that make Solus so good, but not nearly so well executed.

    I was using Fedora before Solus and would still be using it if not for Solus lol
    Having had a chance to get familiar with Budgie, I'd wish that Fedora offered a Budgie Spin though.

    manjaro although it feels a bit like randomly thrown together stuff in the hope that it will work compared to solus, but still good. oh, and unlike solus it detected and automatically installed my samsung ml-2165w printer

    Been using Solus (KDE) on my laptop for over a year now, so I'm happy. On my desktop running 24/7 SolydK is a reliable OS, so of course SolydK and all the more so, because F2FS and NILFS2 file systems are also available. Third would me MX Linux and PCLinuxOS coming in fourth. Fifth? Oh yes, Win10 or KDE Neon.


    Or otherwise I go back to Evolve 1.0. I still have the ISO-CD. No problem.

    Solus was my 8th distro in the past year, and I don't think I'll use anything else as long as it's maintained. I like that the various Ubuntu flavors have the backing of Canonical, but all except Xubuntu felt so heavy compared to a lot of others. I really enjoyed Elementary and Zorin, but Mint worked good on my hardware too.

    1. Elementary
    2. Zorin
    3. Peppermint
    4. Mint
    5. Endless

    Probably Elementary if not Ubuntu. The other lightweight distros have not been working for me. Solus has been the only distro that I liked aesthetically and also operationally functional from the box. Some components break here and there after updates but that comes with ANY os. Also, Solus community has been phenomenal with support for the OS. Have not had a single issue not resolved after bringing it up here in the forums.

    Lately I've been looking at Pop_OS! (or however it's written). The new tiling functionality seems interesting, though one could probably also get that for Solus Gnome.

      If not solus manjaro for sure. it was painful enough ditching manjaro.... but solus is too awesome and i love the uniqueness.

      Staudey Yeah you can get it on Solus GNOME too, have tried it. It's good but a bit janky for somethings. I need to spend more time with it as it's probably a learning curve thing.

        Probably Manjaro, because is Arch with less headache, or maybe fedora, used fedora many times before, I like it, but the upgrade gave me problems before, I don't like the idea of reinstalling the system without need, just because a new update arrived.
        Actually I would say Arch, but nowadays no more, I have kids, wife and a job... no more linux solving prolems funtime.

        Traitor here. I'm actually VM-ing Solus (please don't ban me 😅 ). Using Fedora full-time because of the newer packages that I need like postgresql 12 and nodejs 13/14.

        Sent from Windows 10 because of reasons. Now I can die in shame

          You know, you can always run Postgres through Docker.

          And nodejs.... just use nvm or n, its a must for a node developer.

            I'd use Solus. But that's because I'd continue it's development.
