How I chose Solus

tyleringo

Options: Arch Debian Elementary Endeavour Fedora Garuda Gentoo KDE-Neon Manjaro Mint Mx Pop Slackware SUSE Solus Ubuntu Void Zorin

I don't like anticipating future version upgrades, I want install once update forever.
Narrow out point releases: Arch Endeavour Garuda Gentoo Manjaro Slackware SUSE Solus Void

I want my distro to be independent.
Narrow out distros-based-on-other-distros: Arch Gentoo Slackware SUSE Solus Void

Will I be using this on a server, or for business/development purposes? Do I want to have to "fix my distro" or intervene or recompile things every arbitrary update? No. I want my PC to boot fast and to be fast to use, out the box. I don't want to have to patch things or install custom kernels to do it or have tons of requisite packages or have to remember to refresh mirrorlists a bunch of things you need to keep in check etc etc etc.
Narrow out those more extreme advanced distros first: Arch SUSE Solus Void
Narrow out those not curated for desktop use solely: Solus

Easy choice

pretty much this ^^ and I preferred the desktop experience myself. that solus was committed to it was like you: all added up

I had the same parameters in order to narrow the choice down, but I excluded from the beginning the forks.

No valid explanation for this, I just decided it.

Your post is more concise than mine, Thanks for writing it 🙌
