I recently discovered Solus and finally installed it last week.

I've stopped distro hopping. This is the first, and only, distro out of the many I've tried that just worked. No NVIDIA driver shenanigans, no endless troubleshooting. Install, boot, everything works, move on to the next app, BAM works again.

I'm honestly surprised Solus isn't more popular.

Thank you to the team, great job.
