Solus review - The distro that could not
Damn. I'm so miffed. I was really hoping to test Solus some more and exploring its capabilities. I wanted to see how well it would handle my smartphones, its performance, I was having high hopes around battery life, and the application stack looks interesting. This was also a first chance for me to check how well Budgie handles real hardware. All that was taken away from me by a silly bootloader error. Yes, the forum mentions it, but why.
Such a missed opportunity. Solus 1.2.0.5 had a fresh air of originality about it, it had the right dose of good looks, and it seemed to handle the functionality side, too. My final evaluation will have to wait for a future version, as this one is a no-go. I would also have to advise you to be careful with your own testing, as you may not be savvy enough in how to recover from failed boots. Be warned. The live session was top notch, but no grade here, as we didn't really get to experience Solus. Sigh, Maybe another time.
