Manjaro vs Solus?
Manjaro vs Solus?
I’m using Solus now and curious about others. I’ve heard Man offers a larger community, more tools, better hardware detection, and it’s user-friendly. Is it as simple as Solus? Since I don’t have special requirements, just a regular computer user, would you say its ease of use is comparable? And the price seems at least on par with Solus?
It's tough to say truthfully. I've seen few issues with Manjaro. The problems I've faced were simple to resolve using the command line. For regular use, any operating system should work fine. I wouldn't be concerned unless certain packages can't be installed alone.
Both options have their strengths, so you might want to explore Manjaro on a live USB first before committing. If your main focus is regular use and Solus is already handling it well, switching may not offer much benefit—unless you're eager to try a different distribution, except perhaps for a few special scenarios.
Suggest sticking with Solus. At least Ikey or the current lead developer appears more focused on users compared to Manjaro. Honesty matters.
I initially explored various distributions but ultimately settled on Manjaro after testing several options. It’s a straightforward Arch-based distribution that made deployment simple, which was crucial for my tasks, and it also offered the reliability of a polished Arch Linux guide.
