"Solus [Mate] 4.1, STILL a top drawer distro...

...Even if the mainstream YouTube channels choose to ignore this fact..?
Designed purely for desktop users - no server support implied - this distro more than meets the needs of everyday users. I did previously use for a long time, and as I say in the video, it was our 'off-duty' workhorse for surfing and entertainment on one of the offshore platforms I worked. I do recall a slight issue with using my Epson printer, but this was easily fixed with a bit of searching the subject on the internet. In 2017, I recall that if you were not using one form or another desktop environment of this distro, you were in 'limbo' according to the mainstream channels!!! Obviously NOT the real truth, but standing back and being realistic, it is a VERY good choice that will NOT let most users down. I'll be keeping this laptop as-is for a long-term assessment.
Best wishes to all my subscribers, and casual viewers too.
Stay safe...
