I am very excited to tell you my experience in gaming on solus. My fav game is LoL. I played it via lutris on Manjaro, Debian, Centhos, Elementary os, Fedora, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and finally Solus. This last one just break the walls xD! I am usually playing with 50-60 Fps but Solus manage my Pc to play with 80-90 Fps!!!! I love you team! Thanks for all your efforts. You created the best linux gaming distro out there... Many love on you and continue the good work!
WHAT THE HELL IS SOLUS GAMING! <3
aquasp It's strange, but on my system OAD crashes while using the latest kernel on Solus, while the LTS kernel works well with this game.
The game also runs faster than on Zorin 15.1.(Ubuntu 18.04)

Just to join in on the praise for this OS:
Yesterday I had to reinstall my PC due to a very stupid thing I did (kuch... bootloader partition was removed... kuch). In 30 minutes I managed to join my friends again in-game (Windows-game even*), including downloading and burning the ISO from an Ubuntu live USB and updating the OS fully. Just install discord and steam from the software center and go.
I have yet to see another distro that can get up and running so easily.
I have to reinstall windows as well as I currently double boot. But I am really dreading the install procedure. It's so long and annoying...
*I shouldn't forget to mention the benefit of proton in this experience!
sgvd Linux is easier for me, when things go wrong. I would not know what to do with Windows 10 when it starts acting up.
lekkerlinux Yeah, I totally agree! In linux you can usually fix the problem with 5 commands in terminal, while in windows, you have to keep a day for fixing it.
Getta91 I switched to Zorin because I couldn't fix Windows 7. The internet kept cutting out so I couldn't find help at their Microsoft site, which wasn't very helpful to start with.
Linux has helpful communities to fix non critical stuff.
My "in case all fail" plan is to keep one or two DVD's with other distros, like Zorin or Lubuntu on them.
Last year my Debian based Q40S had some problem and disappeared completely. I found a DVD on the floor with Zorin on it and installed it. It was years out of date but I could take it from there and download something more current.
So, Linux is not just for the technically minded, but other people too. It forces you to think for yourself and solve problems, instead of just taking the box or laptop to some tech guy.
