PrimeSuspect Pretty much anything following this type of release path will break with updates at some point

Yeah I was on Arch and Antergos for a couple of years but when things went wrong it was like we were all in the same boat and problems were sorted reasonably but Manjaro added problems that weren't upstream in Arch, released them without enough testing, and then had shirty wars with forum posts hundreds of entries long. It was like another world that I had been teleported into for some wrong I had done in a past life lol

      robgriff444 I agree. Endeavour promised much after Antergos went down but just a glance at the issues in their forum demonstrates what users are likely to encounter. For me moving to a Gentoo base for my work machine was a no brainer. After all, Google had the world to choose from when they made ChromeOS and chose Gentoo for the base.

        I'm on arch for the last 2 years. But, I always looked at solus. My only problem: I love my Plasma and some applications. After the Solus-Plasma-Release I switched my Thinkpad and my Workstation over to Solus-Plasma. Everything feels smooth, booting time is amazing. At the moment I'm missing only one application.

        So, thanks to the Solus-Devs for the fantastic work! Wonderful Distro.

          LuckyBackup. I'm using it over the years and find it easy to use with more features then grsync.

            Thanks. Yes, I know this. In the next days I will give grsync a try. If my requirement are not suffused, I will place a request.

            Wondering if the Solus devs would consider making linux-lts an option at install? My system freezes with linux-current, which makes installing Solus difficult.

            I've worked with Linux since 2005, started with Ubuntu, but tried others through the years (Mint, Debian, Opensuse, Fedora, Manjaro, Deepin, ...). Ubuntu is top, but not for my ten year old laptop. I'm impressed with Solus 4.1. How snappy it is and well made. Congratulations, I've never seen a more beautiful and more complete, satisfying operating system!

              Balkatov That's interesting to read, because I went the opposite direction with one of my machines, which is exactly 10 years old. Since Solus dropped support for nvidia-340 drivers virtually overnight, I went for Ubuntu, then Xubuntu and that machine is so snappy now that I can hardly see a difference between it and my newer, beefier desktop. With the coming extended LTS edition, I can potentially squeeze another decade out of that computer. I dislike the idea of forced obsolescence, so I am pretty happy about that.

              That said out-of-the-box GNOME Ubuntu is significantly heavier than GNOME Solus, so the latter immediately offers superior experience if GNOME is your preferred flavor.

                I've tried many Linux distributions, but I've yet to find one that beats the simplicity, elegance, and speed of Solus. So many other distros are unnecessarily complicated and seems to throw everything but the kitchen sink at you. My favorite distribution at one time was Pardus, the original version that used the Pisi package manager, which I loved. So glad Solus adopted it. Keep up the great work!

                I am a long time Linux veteran and Distro-hopper. My machines are all on Macs. Ironically I just like the pretty yet don't like OSX that much. Then there's Solus. Everything about this Operating system is perfect for macs out of the box except for one small issue which seems to be the locked down propriety facetimehd driver. Luckily the Devs responded kindly about adopting the driver for Solus. I don't say this lightly but, once there's full support for facetimehd for the macs, you bet, A bunch of Mac folks will use Solus as it is extremely fast, customizable and it completely blows OSX out of the water and even Linux too. The best part I like about it is the familiarity of package management and the inner workings are familiar but with a little learning curve that's easy to adapt. High props to the Devs and everyone involved in Solus. I suggest users to consider donating to support their obvious perfect operating system. Let's make Solus shine above all like the new TOP OS.
