If not solus, what distro would you be using
Brucehankins I enjoy bcs I believe the tweaks it has benefits me in that some of the heavier games that used to crash on me on other distros I think it just works there I could be completly wrong though
Elementary. I thought no distro could replace it. Then I discovered Solus
Probably PopOS, as that was the last before Solus came along a few days back. In a list of Linux distros I used through the years since 2006.
I see though why fellow users could and want to stick with Solus Budgie.

Yeah, once you try Solus Budgie, it's hard to appreciate any other distro.
Funtoo, as it was for years my previous distro.
manjaro
Most likely Manjaro, because AUR.
Probably openSUSE, but only because I've used that for far more years than any other distro before I found Solus.
Their Tumbleweed edition is a rolling edition, and very solid in my experience. I particularly liked yast2
, where I could type my password just once, and then do any kind of maintenance that was needed.
WetGeek I used Leap 15-15.2, and while I enjoyed the stability, I didn't like being so far behind on stuff. I would try Tumbleweed if I ever went back.
Clear linux
I'd most likely use Pop OS, even though I prefer rolling release model, because there is no other rolling release distro that's as stable as Solus.
WetGeek have you tried LXQt? It's performance is comparable to XFCE, but it looks ever so slightly more modern and can be themed to a greater extent. I was really impressed with Lubuntu and kept it around on a second drive for a while.
Brucehankins have you tried LXQt
Yep. I can't remember what distro it was on (I've tried so many). I went through a phase where I was very interested in lightweight distros and DEs, not because my hardware was short on resources, but I just found lightweight software to be faster and more fun to use.
When I found Solus, though, I pretty much stopped looking at any other distros. And despite my brief infatuation with Plasma, I still tend to compare all other DEs with Budgie. I've never gotten used to the name, though.
Brucehankins Yes, I remember using Lubuntu while I was searching for a suitable rolling distro before I found Solus. It is nice and light, plus fast
