brent sparky getting a writeup soon in the other distros thread?
Sparky has already been there. And it was the main distro that got me through the Solus Troubles in the first quarter of this year. Configured the same, it is identical to my Solus laptop. Not almost, or nearly, but identical.
For the software I use all day, I can't even tell any difference in performance. It's a rolling distro that's based on sid, too, and I learned to speak both apt and nala a long time ago. If I sound a little enthusiastic about Sparky, it's because I am.
