I am using Solus Budgie and it is very nice and smooth. Anyone tried Budgie desktop environment?

No, I lost any touch with Budgie when you vanished? Still using Solus?

Yes still using Solus (Budgie desktop environment), it works without breaking and it is light

Quote from dilip

That's great. I never though someone will use it for years on a stretch. What do you like about it?

Weekly updates, very user friendly who comes from Windows. No bad updates/bleeding issue. The default style is very good.

Quote from dilip

Excellent! A good reason to keep going with a distro.

Is it based on Ubuntu?

No, it is not based on anything

Solus is a Linux distribution built from scratch. It uses a forked version of the PiSi package manager, maintained as "eopkg" within Solus, and a custom desktop environment called "Budgie", developed in-house.
