Review on Solus by Daryl Fitch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solus is a great OS for the price.: Solus

It has everything I need, plus some features that are not readily available in other OS’s of its caliber (ease of customization). My primary usage scenario was to host XBMC/Kodi as an OTA streaming server from our media PC box running OpenELEC. The software also allows me to use it like any other Linux distro with all my usual tools & apps installed. You can do almost anything you want if there's something out there written about how to accomplish what this particular task needs done - which means less time learning new things when using it! It’s very customizable, it can be used with Raspberry Pi or other low end computers to create your own computer from scratch. You need an SSD drive but that doesn't have to be expensive like some of its competitors (like Windows). If you want something cheap then this might not be what you are looking for. I am using Solus as my main OS because it's lightweight and easy to use. I am able to do everything I normally would do in windows without any problems.
