I tried Ubuntu Budgie recently and was pleasantly surprised by its good looks and performance. Its very snappy & straightforward probably as good as Linux Mint. However some of the apps are slightly outdated. I'm looking forward to trying Solus and finding my right amount of updates vs performance.
This coming from you totally makes Solus a worthwhile try. Kinda fed up the direction Fedora is taking. Now only if the Solus team really took themselves seriously too !! These guys have a serious OS but they need to wake up to the fact !
Dropping MATE was a MASSIVE mistake..... As Usual, distros who include MATE usually do it very standard looking and super boring....while a few tweaks in less than a minute will change the look. Now this SPEEDONATOR sound very very enticing as I HATE HATE Gnome for it resource hogging and formerly less responsive animations/effects.
I've run different versions of GNOME on a ThinkPad T500 (circa 2009, dual core CPU, 8gb ram) and it's very smooth. All the nonsense I hear about GNOME being bloated simply don't match up with my experience. Distro reviewers love to install something in a VM and look at RAM usage, but that's a very different thing than using it in real life whether or not the system is responsive. Nothing wrong with MATE, but it just feels stuck in the past and is missing some modern features for me to take it seriously. To each their own - use what you want, but don't criticize others for their choice if it works for them.
@@stephenwilson0386 Let me explain what Linux bloat is: A few years ago..linux was lighter and faster in Every respect to Windows and at times than a Mac...Today there is absolutely no advantage in speed anymore, especially with GNOME (although it has improved). I will say something that will shock you. MacOS 10.4 Tiger, is faster, lighter, and more stable than ANY version of lInux in existence and using 512mb RAM. That is a sad statement of th condition of Linux DE's today. nothing lighter on Linux such as XFCE or LXDE look anywhere as good as MacOS and yet require the same or more RAM. Things start looking good and functioning lightly at the same time at the MATE level...past MATE you get heavier bulky DE's. and MATE can look as good as any of those DE's
@@falajose3080maybe but not in the stock versions, but most major distros have really tweaked their DE's to the point where they feel more unique and ideal for different work flows
I really enjoy how each section is just long enough to explain the key points, but not too long to feel boring or irrelevant
Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying this video format.
I really like the once a week system update usually on Fridays. You are not bombarded with daily updates. This is really decent for a rolling distro.

Solus is a premium experience for sure.
Excellent 💯👍 video & very informative. Loved it.
Thank you brother. Glad you enjoyed it
@@LinuxTex loved all your videos & appreciate your knowledge & hardwork.
great video. very very informative
In fact your explanation explodes every time I watch your video
Thanks buddy. 🤟
How does Solus handle VFIO/KVM stuff?

Have you make a video about Archcraft distro? If not then please make one.😊
Interesting explanation, and I actually use it, but I need to install Zoom on it and I don’t know. Please help me. Thank you.
almost thought, their team dropped bomb somewhere, then later read the whole thing and figured out 😂
the title was really a clickbait 😂
Budgie

Acer c738t works just as fast with gnome and all touch screen works just or not faster than chrome stock

Tray icos do not scale form what I see. They still look awkward and ureadable
They do now with the latest updates
No matter how big words we talk Linux GUI is always same after 2019
It has evolved alot actually, especially in GNOME, but also in KDE. Things do look pretty different and more modern now compared to 2019
Apart from gnome I don't fell that the DEs are being innovative, only prettier and more polished@@PenguinByte
@@falajose3080 only color and icon changing true

And yet, Windows 10 copied KDE and now Windows 11 is low-key copying Gnome's rounded design.
