Ive jumped around from the major distros, even to the arch, manjaro and fedora side. Saw a post about solus and didnt pay much attention to it as it was something ive never heard of aside from the issues its had. Scrolling around and saw another post about it and said why not just give it a shot.

Man was I shocked. It has everything I need in the repos, first distro that I didnt have to settle for app images. Its super fast, easy to use and everything just works. So to the devs, thank you for doing what your doing, you all dont get enough credit. This distro is amazing and hope to meet some of yall in the community soon!

Honestly, it annoys me when users think Solus is the same as it was 10 years ago.

They talk as if their distros were perfect and blah, blah, blah. "I love that my favorite company uses me as a guinea pig", oh, please. Love whatever Linux distro you want, but judge the others with respect, or at the very least, point out actual issues.

First time on solus

Its brilliant, not sure why i haven't been using this earlier ahaha. Budgie desktop is great and snappy.. not sure what else to compliment about it that hasn't already been lol - overall just fantastic to use, only found out about it while researching irish linux distros.

Multi monitor support glitch on KDE 6.7 (nvidia)

Hey everyone!

I have recently decided to go back to linux after a long hiatus, i have since upgraded my setup to a desktop pc with the specs below.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600
16gb ddr4
RTX 3060 nvidia gpu

I was using cashyos with gnome and everything ran flawlessly but now that i have decided to switch back to solus (it was my fav back in the day) it was a bit on the messier side, after installing solus i had to manually install the proprietary nvidia drivers through the tty after the eopkg upgrade which was fine since everything seems to be running smoothly now.

However i have a major grip now for KDE (i don't think this is solus related) but i have 2 moniters one is 144hz (1080p) and a 60hz (1440P) but i just put it on 1080p resolution.

and KDE doesn't want to to animate or run the compositor at 144hz on my main monitor and all the animations are running at 60hz while my second moniter is plugged in but i if remove the second display it runs at 144hz.

That's all for now and any feedback would be appreciated!!

Thinking about jumping on board!

Hello everyone,

would like to try Solus. As far as I know, the Budgie desktop is their flagship edition? I've used Budgie before but I remember having some issues with it, like my monitor not going to sleep and something else. But I'm pretty sure the other desktops are greatly maintained as well? I prefer KDE but also like Gnome or Xfce. It's also kinda weird for me that they use Discover for their desktops, since it's usually KDE's software center. But I really don't care since I usually do my updates in the terminal. And I love the simplicity of eopkg. So is anyone else using Solus with something else than Budgie?

Sailing thru calm seas

So glad I found Solus. No reinstalls, no breakage, extremely fast. There's nothing more I could ask of a distro. Long live the galleon!
