Yesterday, Vivaldi Browser put out an article advocating for Windows 7 users to switch to Linux. In the article it described the process to make the switch and mentioned two Distros.. Ubuntu and Solus.
I think this is amazing news. 15% of Vivaldi's users run Linux. Not only is this company making a superb product upon which to browse the Web but they are helping people to understand the importance of the open-source community and helping people make the switch.
I enthusiastically suggest people not only try Vivaldi but consider signing up in their community at Vivaldi.net. I reached out to Vivaldi on Twitter about how I could help them and was given a personal response saying that I could just keep spreading the word.
When I contacted them I told them that if they were not already working with Solus that they should consider doing so. Seeing them mention Solus in such a high-profile fashion has definitely made me day!!
Thanks for making such a brilliant and reliable OS, Solus Team. Josh, you have been a strong and effective leader, and kyrios, Justin and DataDrake, you all have really been excellent facilitators in my Linux education whether you have realized it or not.
I check the Solus Discussion boards daily, sometimes hourly, as I work on tweaking this or that. From the bottom of my heart, THANKS, because Solus makes me feel happier, more secure, and capable of accomplishing things that Windows held me back from doing.
