UPDATE: I can't get SolusOS off of my computer fast enough. I couldn't find one thing impressiver about it. Installed twice, the first time it froze and choked during updates and wouldn't even boot afterwards. The second time, it updated fine but it took two tries to boot after installing nvidia dr...

right

Let me add that I really don't care As long as it keeps running like this, it doesn't matter to me if it is a fork of Mars

It is not a fork...he is simply designing his own DE with gnome 3 technology i would love to understand the difference. it is not based upon gnome fallback but gnome classic a different wording for the same "beast" afaik. Whatever zero, I am not a developer so I don't know the difference....

It's usable but obviously doesn't receive tender loving care from Gnome as it is a soon deprecated fallback session for unsupported graphics cards. I feel SolusOS have taken a better approach patching the fallback than MATE porting Gnome 2, will be interesting to see how it develops. yes i agree it...

I'm running SolusOS 1 now and it is just a beautiful distro. I am seeing why so many choose debian over ubuntu based distros. I'm sure SolusOS 2 will be fantastic when released as well. Those guys do a nice job

Getting more and more curious to try this out. Is it possible to add Gnome Shell or Cinnamon to SolusOS in any not too brutal-hacky way or is it Gnome 2 only? Right now it is gnome 2 only but SolusOS 2 will be a custom design of gnome 3 fallback and will be based upon Wheezy. They really have done ...

Just installed today's release and it is the best distro I have ever tried. Outstanding really....great job on this one

@Monkeyboy,

I did a fresh install of the SolusOS 1.1 that was released today and it is simply outstanding. I believe it is definitely a keeper. Give it a look

@3fRI You may consider SolusOS which is based upon debian stable with up to date applications. The installer is very easy to follow and there is also an installer for video drivers. I absolutely love it so far :wink: Did the 64 bit release get released yet? Yes and it is excellent really! Runs like...

Nm...got it

Some of you will like this post by Ikey at the SolusOS forums: Cinnamon is a Gnome Shell fork which will inevitably reduce Gnome + Mint compatibility in the future. MATE will also suffer a bad fate imo because its a Gnome Fork. We'll be using Gnome 3 classic mode with a lot of modifications. It wil...

It is a beautiful distro. The team has done an outstanding job on this one

SolusOS Debian Stable For Everyone http://kbd-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2012/05/solusos-debian-stable-for-everyone.html Excellent KBD and agree with every word. I decided to give it a look and cannot say enough great things about it. And fast? Wow...it really is a very nice distro. Kudos to the ...

Smxi is just the way to go. It flat out rocks

Agree that it should remember your settings

I have the same issue when I log in to Mate and have to go into the mouse/touchpad settings via system settings and enable the touchpad

@baptiste,


I believe Clem has already said that there would be a 2D option for Cinnamon

1.4 has been incredibly stable for me. No issues really to this point. Not sure what to make of your problem
