Solus is a stable rolling distro, making it somewhat special in the world of Linux. A new ISO just dropped.

    Wow I completely forgot about this distro. Might check it out. I remember liking it a lot but back when flatpaks were just becoming a thing. My main issue was no packages made for solus

      There's been a few times I built from source but flatpak has been quite the blessing. Solus is also looking for more software maintainers, so if there's something not in their software center now that you want, it could be a good opportunity to get involved.

        True. I've always wanted to contribute to an open source project in some way. I'ma try it out again and if I stick with it I just might put my foot into contributing.

      As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there's no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.
