Yes. Independent, rolling, stable.

Budgie on Solus here.

Am I the only one on here using Budgie. I just feel more comfortable with the workflow using Budgie.

Says I’m 10%. BMI says I’m 22.5. I think that’s a big difference? I’m very tall, thin, but have solid muscle and work out about two hours per day.

My comment above is literally a summary from a presentation by the Cardinal Kung Foundation. For decades it was illegal to be Catholic in China and the priests and bishops operated clandestine at great risk of being caught. In place of the Catholic Church the Chinese Communist Party created the Patriotic Association to operate like the Catholic Church using priests and bishops who would break communion with Rome in favor of the local communist government. The “deal” between the Vatican and the CCP attempted to reconcile the two groups to each other in a way that was favorable to both but it did not work out that way.

Removed by mod

For me it was the opposite. Windows required too much support. It didn’t do what they wanted it to do and bad updates inevitably caused problems. With Solus Linux everything became easier for them.

Does anyone consider Tumbleweed stable?

Correct.

As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there’s no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.

There’s been a few times I built from source but flatpak has been quite the blessing. Solus is also looking for more software maintainers, so if there’s something not in their software center now that you want, it could be a good opportunity to get involved.

Budgie 11 should be coming out soon and is supposed to be full Wayland. Arch is nice if you can stay up on your updates and can tinker if things don’t work right.

There’s self-hosting that’s low risk but does remove some convenience. For example, I use a offline password manager. I keep a Veracrypt container on my computer that hosts that and a few other important files. When I make enough updates, I’ll throw a copy into Dropbox so I can save access it elsewhere. The disadvantage is that I cannot update the primary version from one of those other devices but, for me, that’s not really an issue.
