Just getting a feel for Solus - installed a copy of 4.0 on a ProxMox server as a KVM VM and am finding it extremely nice. I tend to be partial to Debian based distros, but this may have pulled me away from MX - the MX developers have chosen to use sysvinit rather than systemd which tends to blow up a few things (like VNC Connect).

After the initial creation of the VM - the system would not detect a SCSI HDD for some reason - switched it over to IDE and it worked great - would be nice if it did detect the SCSI VirtIO disk rather than having to use IDE, but certainly not a show stopper.

Installing Chrome - easie piesie - Third Party apps, done and done. Accidentally installed the Beta, was a bit cumbersome to figure out how to uninstall it (searched for Chrome did it for me) but aside from that again - no show stopper.

Installing VNC Connect, pretty simple to use the install script - ran it as root (wanted it installed system wide) and installed fine and after a reboot my little VNC icon was already on the taskbar with a big red X. When I went to logon to my VNC connect account it failed asking me for Administrator permissions, Google searched and found I needed to open terminal and perform a sudo vnclicensewiz then everything worked like a top.

So far so good, very nice, clean install modern looking desktop - I could see continuing to use original stock Debian for server tasks and this possibly as a new desktop replacement for MX. MX just feels a bit long in the tooth and that systemd sysvinit things gets me a couple of times. Great work fells, please do keep it up!!

Kept going, installed ISO on a usb stick - failed to boot, was using Make USB from MX linux and it failed - went back into MX Linux and downloaded and used the Gnome Multiwriter (as suggested by the Solus folks) which took forever, but the bootable USB in the end was worth it. Booted up and installed Solus 4 on my toughbook. Running great, easily added Putty, Chrome and VNC Connect again. Setting up a ToughBook as work laptop, added XFreeRDP and created new launcher Icons to connect to my Windows Desktops remotely - really great distro thus far - typically I am having to do a lot more fumbling around with a new distro - things are just working - very nice job folks.
