Solus Project: A New Linux OS
Conclusion and thoughts
A new Linux based OS called Solus has surfaced, we take a look at what its capable of in its current state and whether its got any potential. Hardware ReviewsConclusion and thoughts
The Solus Project looks like a very promising OS, built for the desktop and featuring a clean, functional taskbar and action center. We have yet to see more than the first Beta of the new OS, but if the good work is kept up it will become my Linux OS of choice. But it is not without its downfalls though. The fact that the Firefox browser that is built-in can be majorly buggy is an issue, and there is very little software support at the time being. The software support will most likely improve with time, and that is good, but as it is there is very little. That being said, even with the somewhat small software amount, I still think the OS is more than robust. If it had more gaming support like Ubuntu does, I probably might switch from Windows to Project Solus as my daily driver.
With all that tallied up, I think that this is a great OS for anyone who either does not game, and wants a good productivity machine with some serious reliability! While it may not have very much in the way of software, it has all the necessities, and more software is always going to be added as time goes on. This means that while it may not be all that attractive to gamers right now, it still is a very good options for IT professionals and tech gurus to try out and use (if they are at all interested).
I would give the OS a rating of 4/5 right now, for the lack of certain software, and the bugginess that randomly occurs. Otherwise, it is a good OS.
What do you think? Do you like the OS, or think that it is simply yet another Linux distro? Let us know in the comments below!
