Why sacrifice the resources available for Ubuntu for any other beginner distro?

is this the new desktop thread?

Because it's more stable, ships with a better default DE which a beginner wouldn't want to mess with and change, Is faster in almost every way, and has a better package manager.

Only con I can think of is the tiny software repository compared to Ubuntu, but it has everything most normies will need and want.

stop the shilling, pls

Solus, like every other Linux distro that's ever been created, is boring as fuck.

no

doesnt support UEFI so its shit

get a fucking life you autistic weeb

The fun distros are the ones Sup Forums complains about being too autistic

Why is this better than any of the Ubuntu flavours or Mint?

Thinking about trying this on a old notebook next week or so. What about memory usage?
After pic related now I'm thinking about using Kubuntu.

All threads are desktop threads now

Thanks for saving me the time, fucking dropped.

Except it does and you're shit for lying on an anonymous image board.

It's boring because it just werks?

Mine uses around 400MB on boot. But it ran better than Ubuntu mate for me which uses 300MB.

I was using Ubuntu MATE 16.04, after switching from Linux mint 17.3.

It supports uefi systems.

>a meme cockroach package manager

nah

Alt+Tab with budgie sucks.

Non-hideable top bar with budgie sucks.

Budgie sucks.

No. It's a piece of crap that'll be dropped soon.

>redditfetch

>dropped soon
Lmao, how naive you are.

There's also mate and i3 available if xfce goes gtk3 it will also be added

I get around 300mb on my t460s

Is the new Void Linux at least.

>alt+Tab with budgie sucks
How so?
And how so compared to other DEs?

Going from windows to any non shiet Linux DE would be massive, but I don't think that ~100MB you can save between various DEs is enough to fuss over.
Go with whichever one you like most and be happy with it.

Solus contains optimizations that you won't find anywhere else except for clearlinux though.

No, it's broken.

werks for me

such as

for instance it provides avx2 optimized libraries if your cpu supports them

naturally the kernel is pre-configured and pre-patched from desktop scenarios

there's more but you could just google what clearlinux does

You can stop samefagging with your misinformation.

You're the one who said it had optimizations. Are the rest of the distros really not supporting AVX2?

Solus is great but i still like my ubuntu.

no due to compatibility issues
solus does it automatically for you by choosing the right libs.

it does similar thing for steam by providing its own up-to-date and optimized runtime instead of that ubuntu 12.04 garbage provided by valve.

There's more info on their website.
For example solus-project.com/2016/06/20/solus-1-2-shannon-released/

makeuseof.com/tag/battle-budgie-desktops-budgie-remix-vs-solusos/

theres a new meme miracle distro every month, if this actually lasts I'd get it

t. dev

not that I don't thank your effort

Solus has been gradually getting more popular over 2016, it's not a massive spike, but it's gone from 29 to 25 in distro watch since q2 2016.

I'm expecting it to continue this trend as it continually improves over time, but I hope it doesn't end up bloated and shitty like Ubuntu or Fedora.

I really like it so far, been using it on my HTPC for a few weeks now and it's been great, even on my shit specs that Linux mint lagged on.

I wanted to use Solus but i'm too stupid to install things that aren't on the repo.

for example never understood how to install thinkfan or firefox-esr in Solus meanwhile Antergos had them in the AUR.

That's neat.

can i have high res picture of cat girl?

thats me (｡>﹏

I understand you mate. I'm sure they'll add it as they're also working on laptop support, but it's still a growing distro.

I'm sure they'll add it in a future release.

will you be my gf

im lesbian

try me i would treat you like the queen you are i would make you 100 percent heterosexual

Pretty much. It's been growing incredibly fast and it's really well made. I have a friend who uses it, thinking of making the switch on my laptop.

How's their laptop support?

KEVVVVVIIINNNNNNNNNNN

me too

This will always confuse me.

The services (forums, wiki, history, binaries, PPAs/repos, massive community and support) that surround Ubuntu make it pretty much entrenched as the de facto newb distro.

Got anymore? Could you give us a time stamped shout out image?

no user, Solus is not the go to beginner nothing. It's just another distro and not a very good one, because it isn't doing anything new.

>not a very good one
>isn't doing anything new
Except it's going many things new and better than any other distro.
Besides maybe clearLinux.

Try reading the thread next time before blindly posting like an idiot (:

Is solus the new daily Sup Forums shill Linux distro?

thanks for the mega website i was looking for another cloud for photos and shit for mah phone.

Always like local websites IMO.
Btw very qt cosplay though.

Btw might give this linux a go on my second PC
anyone got a idea of file size of Solus?

No. Manjaro + Xfce is the hotness atm.

had you really never heard of mega?

nah I didn't even know know cloud servers existed in my country Lmao.

Kevin go the fuck away. I'm going to fucking kb you from #homescreen the next time I see you shitting another Solus thread onto this board.

when the first solus shill threads started, the terminal showed 'kevin@solus'. Kevin (or someone using his initial screenshot) kept posting the thread day in and day out. Now, whenever a solus thread is made, it`s assumed that Kevin is behind it.

I think it's around the 1GB mark?

Kek

Kek

that's small good thing I don't have more than 8 GB of space should be very nice thanks user.

Kevinism at its finest
google.com/#q=kevinism

I don't see how this applies.

Can i rice it ?

what's the package manager?

eopkg

Yep, it's Linux after all.

8GB should be plenty for OS and software.

He's an autist from rizon who is still posting them. he is proud of all of the (You)s he gets too.

Windows 10 is the way to go unless you like half-baked operating systems.

My name is Charles Stiles I'm with a company called Mystery Diners.

Not without a timestamp.

Look up Mikehouse's galleries on sadpanda. She does Maki, too.

No it isn't, that's ミケ (Mike)

that's me, k?

quit shilling your hillary clinton distro, it does'nt even use wayland

nope

post timestamps, from the archive it seems you've said that was you multiple times with the same mega link. seems quite suspect

Or..
yama41momonoha.wixsite.com/mikehouse

What a shitty midriff.

IFF the user will be using a desktop. It's too cramped for trackpads and smaller sized screens

If that was really you which it isnt, then you are ugly as fuck.

rude
rude

It sounds like a neat distro. If I was switching from Windows, I would probably try it.
But the truth is, I can never go back. I tasted the power of Gentoo, I felt the flexibility and control beyond my wildest dreams. I could never drop it for something that is gonna take away any of that power from me. Even now I'm lusting for more control, more flexiblity, more power. I want more.
I do really hope it takes off, though. From what I've read, they seem like they have more healthy views on the desktop than Ubuntu. Need more information to test whether it will stay on-course even when faced with popularity, but if it goes into the same direction, it would be a better newbie Linux than Ubuntu is.
I don't even hate Canonical, the guys did a lot more good than bad, but they are really freaking aliens sometimes.

DE = Distro
Hello newfriend, what brings you to Sup Forums?

>Ubuntu
>aliens
Pick one, and only one.

I agree that Manjaro is good stuff, but I reckon it's an intermediary step between ubuntu and arch.

Looks pretty comfy. What's the package manager?

I've had much less problems with this than I have with apt and dnf

I like this new meme, I think imma call it Kevin.

Try Fedora Rawhide

I suppose this has git, right?

I've been trying ubuntu, but I give up, since I simply do not have the patience to troubleshoot everytime I try to install or do something.

>KDE lower than XFCE

I'm calling bullshit on this.

Anyone running i3 with budgie yet?

I swear it's the same person shilling this thread every other day.

Omg budgie is so amazing. it's perfect. it's so fast !!

It's just GNOME 3 with applications extension, arc theme and the less useful version of the deepin side panel right?
Only with the productivity of the workspaces of GNOME 3 removed.

I only tried Budgie Remix, not Solus. I don't see the appeal in not having packages easily available.

>solus
It's an Arch skin, right?
