If not solus, what distro would you be using

downhill

In addition to Solus, I also run Debian Stable and Debian Unstable, all with the Openbox window manager and the Tint2 panel.

dbarron

I would be somewhere in Arch, but probably not on Arch itself. I'm liking Arcolinux at the moment.

Neumie

Probably Manjaro. I play a lot of games o my PC and i use a Vega 64 so having an up to date kernel, Mesa and its dependencies is the way to go.

But I prefer Solus's more curated rolling release model. On the edge but not the bleeding edge.

bvdlingen

Neumie isn't Manjaro trying to offer o more or less curated version of Arch rolling releases?

Lucien_Lachance

id probably be back on distrowatch looking for the perfect distro, while using one i wasnt completely happy with
which is how i found solus

alveion

Probably Ubuntu or Antergos.

algent

alveion There is no more Antergos.

claude-dexter

So far I using Solus is the longest ever. if not solus maybe I would try Elementary OS or back to Winwow01 🙂

alveion

algent Unfortunately yes. I thought Antergos have a bright future since they made friendly Arch.

Bunsenlabs
Crunchbangplusplus
Archbang
Clearlinux

v3l0ct

Archlabs is what I was running prior to Solus. I would go back to an Arch variant.

I shudder to think what other distro I'd be using if not Solus 😛

But if I had to, I'd probably be using Fedora or KDE Neon or attempt my hand at Arch. For the record though, none of these distros offer the same stability that Solus has, so thankfully I can compute in peace.

How about building a brand new distribution and calling it Wind ?
Wind OS sound nice 🤣

kyrios
So, if you break your OS what would you be calling that?
Breaking Wind?
Sorry, was too tempting... :-)))

Chrym

kyrios
naaa, Shatterd Glass 11 would be a nice Distri Name 😃

I would give BSD a try... actually GhostBSD.

WetGeek

I'd probably be using MX or Manjaro. There are so many "okay" distros, but only one Solus!

elfprince

If not Solus, perhaps Linux Lite. Or Q4OS.

saitam

I have openSUSE installed in parallel, mainly because of CUDA support.

dug

I never did a "Linux from Scratch" so maybe that. Or fully move on to OpenBSD.

Girtablulu

Probably stayed on w10

maskarin

For me probably Antergos

kratti

Probably Gentoo or a user-friendly variant of it. With Solus I've really started to appreciate the idea of installing once and then just updating regularly. I've tried Debian, Ubuntu and various variants of those and they all feel incredibly clunky to use compared to Windows or Solus (or macos...) and OpenSUSE still feels as ... heavy, I think, that it felt like in 2008 or so.

Evolve

synth-ruiner

maybe Manjaro again, but I'm not thrilled about the idea. I tried out Ubuntu Budgie recently and it was pretty nice but I dunno if I can bring myself to install Ubuntu(/derivatives) again. I've heard good things about Debian but I haven't tried it. maybe MX?
