thanks for the review. this looks like an excellent distro to introduce to new users trying linux for the first time. I think a polished consistent UI with easy to find and use settings is key for people to feel good. Also the exotic distro (solus) and DE (budgie) will make the noobs feel special. And i remember when i started with linux, the fact that it was ubuntu and gnome made it hard to find documentation (since there existed forum threads and wikis for all prior versions of gnome and ubuntu, which was really confusing). I think solus is easier to get started with, when starting from scratch.

Nice to see a review. Thats how I found you. Actually, virtualbox guest additions were already installed. I had the same experience like you though. I have not looked it up, but it seems like it was not enabled or something.
I will also be installting solus on my laptop. As you said. Budgie is the better GNOME. I hated GNOME until I installed budgie on my Ubuntu and weren't able to get rid of it again. Using it like two weeks I learned to love the workflow. Currently I am on KDE on my desktop and openbox on my laptop, though. But as I said: That is a subject of change.

Hi DT, I've been just watching your other videos, but since you made a new distro review I will comment. Solus 4.0 doesn't have a sense of humor since it didn't accept your strong and complicated password - which is my Favorite part of your distro review/installation videos, so it loses points for me. Let's say I install this on my laptop via a flash drive, when it says -reboot the PC-, do I pull out the flash drive first, then click the reboot button, or click the reboot button first, the pull out the flash drive?

Hello Friend! There are a few questions! Sorry for my -French-))))). 1) Why there is no change in the keyboard layout of the Alt-Shift keys. This is the main reason that does not allow to use this distribution! I have to type a lot of text and this is a real mockery! 2) How to keep a backup of the system? In my opinion, should this be basic in every distribution, especially if it is not the same as everyone else !? Good luck!

I don't understand why you don't have virtualbox guest working purely from the iso, as it's actually installed on to the iso, it also installed on my host when i installed Solus as my host machine and caused me some errors, took me a while to figure out what was going on and i had to uninstall the vbox modules for my machine to work properly :D

Thanks for the video.Budgie edition.Installation on hdd very fast, less than 5min on virtualbox.Also fast boot. At the start used less 700MB ram and around 660 packages (eopkg) installed . the theme is very dark by default.PS : WPS Office has been removed from Third Party due to the introduction of an unenforceable EULA by the developers.

Is there a possibilty for a dual boot. I've tried installing Solus in
the past but i'm not an experienced user and i'm having trouble
selecting the partitions. When I install ubuntu it automatically asks me
if I want do install it alongside windows, buts not the case with Solus
:-( , you have to do it manually :-(.

To all the users wondering if you should make the switch to Solus,
Don't.
Install gnome-tweak-tools in ubuntu and set theme to adwaita dark and icon pack to whatever you want. You will have similar looks and waaaay better experience. You can call me names but this is my first hand experience!

Sadly I cannot have any confidence that Solus will be around long term. Ikey Doherty gave up on SolusOS to make Solus, then did another moonlight. Let's see if those that remain have the spirit to carry it on, meantime, not for me thanks.

I have to say, that looks awesome! Even better than ubuntu. Still today, I prefer ubuntu 8 looks over current, I hate the unity looks, I know they are using gnome today, but still the same look as unity... Absolutely hate it.
