    Solus didn't like me last time. So. Let's find a Solusion. Ho ho ho. Behold, a review of Solus 2017.04.18.0 64-bit with the Budgie desktop environment, tested on a laptop with UEFI, GPT, 16 partitions, and a complex multi-boot setup, including look & feel, network connectivity - Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing, Samba and Wireless printing, multimedia playback - HD video and MP3, smartphone support - Windows Phone and Ubuntu Phone, partitioning, a failed installation attempt, several other observations, and more. Enjoy.

    The top panel is meant to be used with a dock like Plank. That's where Budgie resembles GNOME with its Dash to Dock.

    Mrk, now that Fedora 26 is out, I like myself really liking Russian Fedora. Its stock Fedora pimped up with all the goodies that
    can be installed alongside it like Skype, office and audio and video applications. The Anaconda installer isn't hardcoded
    to Russian so it installed and booted up in English. Yes, its a Russian remix version of Fedora and its Fedora as it should be.
