Always can't wait to hear "As always, let's start with a little bit of context"😂❤

Great review. I'm glad you reinstalled after I mentioned the kernel issue on the last video. This is one of those distros that just does everything I need including providing every app I use for my workflow within the software center in native packages.

Budgie along with Deepin are the GOAT of Linux DEs.

I switched to Fedora 40 and installed cachyos kernel and done a few other tweaks last night. Gaming is awesome but you have me wanting to try Solus now because you mentioned how smooth it was gaming, I really enjoy your videos I've learned a lot from you

Have known about Solus since about 2016/2017 but only since 2019 I'm daily driving it on my laptop. It's rock stable, hasn't let me down even after updates, feels very snappy & quick on Budgie/Gnome like no other distro, the commands to install software are really simple & overall is the perfect fit for me as it has all my required applications in the repo; I love it a lot & has cured me of distrohopping since 2019

Yes ! Super vidéo. Ça semble très prometteur solus . En gros si on touche pas au kernel et si on a pas NVIDIA ça fait quand même bien le taf ! Merci

this video is very helpful u gained a sub

my fav distro :D

Solus team is making progress. We need to wait.

Could the stutter maybe also be from the scheduler? I tried Solus today and everything is super smooth until something happen on my second screen or a get a discord/Whatsapp Message, then I get stutter in the exact moment the new Messages comes in.

I've been using Solus for over a year now, but my gaming machine has stayed on Windows just because of inertia and desire to keep it around for odd proprietary software that doesn't work with Wine. As a office machine with some development capabilities, it's one of my top choices because the desktop and packaging does get out of the way. It's just not as feature-rich as a Debian or Arch-based distro because it's redone some important system internals from the beginning and hasn't been around long enough to address stuff like gaming graphics, or tablets that aren't Wacom(there are packages for Wacom, but for other manufacturers, up until just last week you had to build and run opentabletdriver yourself - fortunately someone has taken on maintenance so this particular wart may be fixed).

I have question that needs an up-to-date answer: Is it worth it to use a custom kernel instead of the default one? I believe that it makes sense to think that the gap between default and custom kernels is getting smaller. This might be wrong, tho. Could you compare the performance across kernels like default, xanmod, xanmod RT, liquorix, Zen? Of course, focusing on gaming performance.

Try the Void linux

Nice vid

I find that gaming on Budgie is more fluid than KDE or Gnome. I have no clue WHY this is, since it's on the same platform as Gnome, but it just feels more fluid to me, less stuttering.

Sympa ta chaine. :)

OK. There are rly a lot of Distros now in the YT Gaming bubble. Endeavour, Cachy, Garuda, Nobara, Pop OS, Mint, now Solus and certainly some more. I don't rly get which one to choose for what advantage?? I mean Games should work, drivers should work, while having as little clutter as possible and giving you the most hardware performance possible. Can we rank the Distros by that metric?

Hello Kermit!

Solus has always been my favourite disribution for gaming, the only problem is that the Solus project has vanished for a long time, then it has come back from nowhere. So the future of this distro is not clear and repositories are sparse, but for gamaing it was the fastest imho.

Except they can't get the printing bug dealt with. It's been a problem since their rebirth. Loads of people complain that their printers are not recognized. Until that gets resolved they won't go anywhere.

Solus hasn't been good in years.

solus is dead project :(

Hey A1RM4X, there is "Official port linux-cachyos-bore and linux-cachyos-lts for Fedora" in COPR. Would be cool if you test it in new Fedora 40
