       @BuddiesOfBudgie Thank you for your contribution to the #Budgie DE and #Solus.  They were my initial  experience when I switched to linux.  If you don’t mind me asking, will the upcoming Solus 4.4 ISO resolve your concerns?  Since I do not understand the nuances of the linux ecosystem I rely on your endorsement to guide my distribution direction.

       Great to see that @Vivaldi continues to be packaged in the @Solus repository. Two projects with devoted contributors that work well together, especially with the Use Native Window option. My appreciation for both teams for your efforts. #Solus #Vivaldi

       @mastodom @boilingsteam I have explored several distros, but for stability, reliability, and hardware compatibility definitely #Solus.

       @boilingsteam @mastodom The reliability of not having wifi decide not to power on after reboot or to simply disappear.  The reliability of not having an update suddenly corrupt a repository.  The reliability of not having a black screen after suspend.  Yes, the team had problems and was on the point of failure, but is now back with a vigor.

       @boilingsteam @mastodom I have found Solus the most reliable rolling release.  openSUSE Tumbleweed is the next most reliable, but the updates are so darn slow to apply and often require many autorestarts of the package downloads.

       @Maholmire I hadn’t thought of that.  I currently use Flatpak for the user facing applications (e.g., Thunderbird) so that I rely on the application maintainers to keep things current rather than the distribution maintainers (following a suggestion from #thelinuxEXP). I still have to spend the time going through the updates of openSUSE base packages.  Would the Distrobox approach have any advantages over Flatpak?
