Updated
An original distribution not based on the behemoths like Arch or Debian. Instead, it forks its package manager from a small distribution called Pardus, which used the PiSi package manager.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Default experience is clean and easy
The default desktop experience on the Budgie version is very clean and streamlined. Although the Budgie DE isn't the most customisable, but it's customisable enough for me to recreate the desktop style of ElementaryOS with the dock and bar at the top.
Pro Seamless Packages
It may not have the most obscure packages, but the packages it does have is a good number of everything a Linux user needs. Gamers, developers, desktop users, etc. all have the necessary packages and then some. The packages themselves are integrated perfectly and are very well updated.
Cons
Con You rely on software center to update your applications
Solus - and therefor all the applications - can only be updated via the software center, so you will be running outdated applications until the devs update the software center, which can take some time.
