I recently took a look at latest Solus, it’s a nice distro and budgie a nice DE. I feel like it’s a nice option for those making the jump from Windows. Wish more people came across it.

It’s nice that people can play and release their own distribution. But sometimes it really feels like pure background noise. I don’t see anything interesting in Solus that you could not find in mainstream distributions.
Is this project still a dumpster fire?
Not at all. This distro works really well for some time now. I mean the people around it changed and they changed the organisation structure, not depending on one person like it was before. If you are interested here is what has changed in 2023 to not be in same situation again: https://getsol.us/2023/04/18/a-new-voyage/
Also the communication is great. I would say maybe even the best of all distros. They do a report like this every week regrading software updates and what is happening around Solus: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/12033-solus-update-post-for-week-42-2025
