    "Not bad, could be so much better with a few changes"

    Edited 2025-11-09

    Pros: Solus is a lovely looking Linux OS that's an alright all-rounder that's quite snappy with decent gaming performance.

    Cons: Software center is absolutely terrible. Must have native Flatpak support added as a bare minimum and come with Easy Effects for fundamental functionality and updated kernel and drivers bare minimum.

    Overall: A promising start for Solus that I hope is built upon but ultimately right now it is a jack of all trades aces at none doing absolutely nothing to set it apart from the literal sea of other Linux distributions.
