[QUOTE="Dark Knight, post: 1119163, member: 11606"] I have used Mint, Fedora, Elementary and Zorin , When Solus 4.7 came out I started test driving it on live CD and eventually installed it, I installed Budgie and now I cannot stop using it. I am by no means a Linux master but this OS is a breeze to use and as close to Windows that I have seen (IMO). I am currently dual booting it With Windows 10 Pro 22H2, let me tell you, I thought my Windows 10 system was fast , Solus goes beyond fast, the OS moves like it has a purpose and you don't have to spend half your time in bash or the terminal. Software is extremely easy to install and for all the Windows software I use I have easily found Linux counterparts that work just as well and in some instances better. For the Windows software that I cannot find Linux counterparts for there is always Bottles or Wine that you can run your Windows software in. As far as customization goes , on my Windows system I had taken to installing custom themes in order to avoid the butt ugly Windows UI,. With Solus , customization is minimal , other than using dark mode which is easier on my eyes and a custom icon theme , the OS is more aesthetically pleasing than anything Microsoft has ever produced. This OS is a pleasure to use and I can only see it getting better. Come October when I finally kick Windows to the curb I can honestly say Solus will become my daily driver ..... it practically already is. I have to say I was a little uneasy about moving away from Windows but after using Solus I can honestly say I am just riding out Windows 10 end of life, I very rarely use Windows anymore and when October comes I will not have an issue reformatting my drive and moving on. I am not going to let Microsoft dictate to me as to what "I have to have" in order to run their OS when it is not really needed. I don't believe in dictatorships. [/QUOTE]
