Solus is a stable rolling distro, making it somewhat special in the world of Linux. A new ISO just dropped.

Wow I completely forgot about this distro. Might check it out. I remember liking it a lot but back when flatpaks were just becoming a thing. My main issue was no packages made for solus

There’s been a few times I built from source but flatpak has been quite the blessing. Solus is also looking for more software maintainers, so if there’s something not in their software center now that you want, it could be a good opportunity to get involved.

Still no Wayland support for Budgie. That is really the only reason I used Solus in the past. As a rolling distro Arch is still king.

Budgie 11 should be coming out soon and is supposed to be full Wayland. Arch is nice if you can stay up on your updates and can tinker if things don’t work right.

I’m sure I’m missing something, but what is unique about this distro?

As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there’s no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.

Chimera Linux is also a pretty cool independent distro…

So, solas isn’t based on debian or some other core base? It’s its own thing? Did I understand correctly?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
