The default look of the Budgie Desktop, which is built from scratch and uses some apps from the GNOME Stack, aims to be a clone of the Chrome OS desktop used in Chromebook computers. On the more technical side of the distribution, I like the intuitive and easy-to-use installer, as well as the package manager, which offers a new, different package management experience to users. Is Solus the next-generation distro that we’ve all be waiting for, the distribution that will threaten the existence of projects like elementary OS? Will you switch over from another distro to Solus?
