As most of you know, I'm a huge Linux fan and I tend to try every distribution as it is released. Recently, I decided to give the Solus distribution a try. Solus has been rapidy gaining ground in the rankings on the popular Distrowatch website and as such, I felt like now was a good time to share my thoughts with a Solus Budgie 3 Review.
Solus is a unique distribution in that it is written from scratch, something we don't see that often anymore. Most new distributions tend to choose from either Debian, Ubuntu (technically they are the same thing to some extend), Arch or something else. Very rarely do we see a new "from scratch" distribution. Not only that, very rarely do we see a GOOD from scratch distribution.
Solus has been out for a couple of years now and version 3 is the currently available version with 4 coming fairly soon. The Budgie desktop, developed by the Solus team, is an elegant desktop built using GTK+. The next version, however, will be built using Qt 5, C++, and Wayland, which should be interesting to see how that changes things.
