    Never heard of Solus, is it based on Debian?

      Evolve OS or now known as Solus is an independently developed operating system, uses eopkg as package manager and comes with Budgie, GNOME, MATE or KDE Plasma as the desktop environment.

      It is rolling-release. So the change here is pretty hard because Strobl is very hard to replace.

    That’s sad news. I don’t use Solus anymore, but I really liked it when I did. That’s the second lead gone from the Solus project. What’s going on over there?

      It’s one of the distros I’ve had in my “one day will test in a VM” list for a while, but so much turbulence makes me wonder how long it’ll last.
