Installing Gecko Linux Rolling Budgie on my laptop.
I'm thinking about moving off of that today
It's good, but not perfect. I'm looking for "just the right" desktop for me.Also funny enough, my actual gecko ran in front of my Gecko desktop a few minutes ago.
I've never used Budgie desktop, thought I would give it a try for awhile.
Budgie is slick, I like it a lot. For some reason, my Gecko / Budgie combination has a few integration issues. I think it is on the Gecko side, though. Budgie on Solus is not likely like that.
Is Solus debian based?

Don't think so. It uses its own, unique packaging system.

Literally.. I have a literal gecko walking around on my Chromebook.

Floating on the river, brought to you by @scale @ScaleLegion
This is why you give out swag, it ends up in the oddest places.

Afterwards, chiling on the couch @pchiodo's house.
Lunch break
@pchiodo working hard
Why are we spinning? Oh yeah, @scottalanmiller has no reason being the back of the boat....
Picture right at launch before I learned that I was the only one in the boat that knew how to use it... From the left and going clockwise

None of my beer coozies made it home with me.
And @Minion-Queen will be happy to know neither did the Spiceworks stress ball. The kids had fun with that on the river.

What would be considered perfect for you?

Going for doughnuts and coffee.

Solus is also a rolling release and it supports snap/snapd and flatpak which I like too.

If the gecko was bigger and I didn't have to worry about stepping on him.

But it doesn't support a lot of apps at all, which I don't like. I have to get Sodium to work on it, and it depends on underlying components that Solus doesn't support. The format and the desktop are great. The lack of broad support is what is bad.

I really like Korora, but it has memory issues, especially with Firefox and is lagging way behind Fedora. Mint is pretty nice, but slow to release and based on Ubuntu LTS. Neither is a big deal, but not ideal, either. I'm going to give straight Fedora 26 a try, see what that does for me.
