Solus

What do you like best?

If you are looking for a fresher Budgie desktop without the issues you can find in Gnome or Plasma then Solus is an option in 2021. The UI is streamlined and almost material based in the design. Also, the speed and consistency of the operating system is one of the best things going for the Solus team at this time.

What do you dislike?

If you do not know how to package apps then the app selection is few. You can use Electron apps as a subsutitue but Solus is not for someone unfamilar with Linux.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are new to linux get familar with the different package managers and disstros before diving into Solus. The platform is not Debian based do if yo uare coming from Windows the learning curve can take a little time.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I use my Solus desktop for Wordpress production and using XAMPP on the platform. Is more seamless and without issues than other Linux platforms in my opinion.
