With the latest release of Solus, I feel I should ask. I have had my eye on this particular distro for some time now. I even did a test installation about two years ago, but it didn’t feel as complete as I needed it to be.

I am looking for a solid, beginner-friendly rolling Linux distribution for general use. Multimedia, gaming, coding etc. Do you recommend Solus? If so, why? Why not? Looking forward to your thoughts.

    I don’t think the advice is that people should ignore small distros but that small distros won’t be as beginner friendly.

    Really learning to function in Linux involves a lot of searching for what went wrong and being in a larger distro increases the chance that somebody has run into your problem before.

      I agree. Perhaps I got confused when reading the other comment.

      Small distros aren’t good ones for beginners, because support plays a great role into they first experiences.
