From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Its a fun distro to play with but i wouldn't use it for anything serious.

I was happy to see it. I still had solus installed on my old laptop and the update fixed a lot of issues like my cursor turning invisible.

I'm going to wait to see what happens with the switch to a SerpentOS base with solus 5 or if they get Wayland support on 4.5 before considering it for my main laptop again.
