As of November 12, 2016, Solus ranked 20th in the 6-month page hit rankings of Distrowatch.
Solus's surge in popularity can be explained by the influx of Solus-related threads on various technology forums, namely Sup Forums's technology board, where it has become a user favorite due to its speed and versatility.
Solus Officially Confirmed to Be The Best Distro of All Time
Nathan Rogers
solus is the new gentoo
Parker Bell
Shilling this hard, holy shit.
Nicholas Stewart
The reason Solus has taken Sup Forums by storm so quickly is because it is geared towards power users even more than arch, while also being friendly to noobs. It is truly first in it's class. No other distro has been able to appeal to ALL users as well as Solus. It also runs on a wide range of hardware, with a minimum memory requirement of only 512 mb.

Can someone tell me finally? Is it really infected with a botnet called kevinnet? Does it do anything? Why are people ok with it?
Thanks.
Alexander Lewis
No software. Next

>Can someone tell me finally? finally >Is it really infected with a botnet called kevinnet? yes Does it do anything? unknown at this time >Why are people ok with it? they aren't. That's why there was so much attention being drawn to it the past few hours.
Andrew King
I love Solus because it is easy to use for novices like myself, fast, beautiful and most of all it is Free (as in speech, not beer).
Charles Ramirez
I've been using Solus at my home and office for the last 6 years. The truth is that it's easier to use than any other distro, it's beautiful and it just works.
Parker Powell
Why would you want to use a pleb OS such as solus?
Charles Allen
fucking stupid bullshit. Debian is all you need
Cooper Martin
It runs well on everything. Other distros require supercomputers to run because they're very bloated and BAD. Solus is perfect in every imaginable way.
Jack Phillips
>Debian Enjoy all of your outdated packages and shit tier package manager
Adrian Perez
>shill a distro >people want to try it so they download it >use it for 0.02 seconds before they realize it's shit >still goes up in rank because its a FUCKING MEME
Luis Jones
But can't you just uninstall or block kevinnet since Linux is open? Someone has probably done it
Nicholas Smith
>FUCKING MEME I'm actually currently speaking with hiro about solus, and he told me he just switched to it as well about a month ago. He said that he will make it the official os of Sup Forums and only computers with solus on them will be able to post to Sup Forums.
Jacob Butler
>namely Sup Forums's technology board, where it was relentlessly shilled by solus developers and fanboys
>mfw even my chink distro of choice has a better rank than archbabies
Henry Bell
What a beautiful woman.
WTF is solus and why should I care?
Gavin Ramirez
Lol fuck off, that's not remotely comparable to a real package manager
Thomas Gutierrez
>beautiful woman
The fuck u on m8
Gavin Scott
Fag
Sebastian Wilson
What other distro would be similar to this one?
Landon Gomez
Can you install xfce on Solus? And i3wm?
Daniel Ross
It has its own package manager
Landon Jones
There's no such thing as the kevinnet you fucking idiot.
It's a Sup Forums meme, and nothing else.
Sebastian Martinez
What package manager does it use?
Robert Reyes
Can I add the main ubuntu PPA?
Ryan Gray
Why does that matter when it still lacks the software AUR has?
Adam Wood
Yes
Austin Diaz
I'll try it a VM and see how it does then. Online community is quite shit and it feels like if I run into problems I'll never find solutions on Google, but whatev...
Kevin Bennett
why her skin is too dark?
Xavier Lopez
>too
Wtf!

Eli Brooks
I upgraded to Solus from Arch a couple of weeks ago and have been loving it. Much faster than Arch.
Logan Myers
Fuck off Kevin
Cameron White
>op pic still not deleted >thread still not 404

Jason Lee

Wyatt Howard
You're thinking of Bedrock GNU+Linux
Jordan Martin
>seen like 20 of these threads this week >still have no idea what is actually unique about it other than the DE
Hudson Ross
Solus is the future!
Fuck Arch!!!
