Von Windows bin ich ganz weg, braucht eigentlich kein Mensch, bis auf wenige nur auf Windows verfügbare Anwendungen?! Habe über Jahre mit distrohopping so einiges ausprobiert, Arch-, Debian-, RedHat oder oder oder -basierte Distros, zuletzt MXLinux und Cachy längere Zeit getestet, nicht in VM sondern immer auf SSD installiert. SolydXK mit KDE seit ca. 2 Monaten: -läuft bei mir superschnell, fährt auch genauso schnell wieder runter -hat nur das NötTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)igste installiert, KISS!! -benötigte Software läßt sich problemlos installieren -alles läuft auf Anhieb, Drucker, Scanner, Wlan....einfach Alles! -schnell wie BodhiLinux (war bisher das Schnellste) oder Cachy (auch sehr, sehr schnell) bei Anwendungsstarts Probleme gibt es absolut keine.... Ich hoffe das kleine Team in den Niederlanden bleibt weiterhin am Ball mit dieser absolut hervorragenden Distro. ViellTranslated with DeepL.com (free version)eicht könnte das Team noch eine Schnappschuss-Funktion des fertig eingerichteten Systems, ähnlich wie bei MX Linux vorhanden, basteln. Das kleine Progrämmchen ist schlichtweg genial, habe ich auch sonstwo noch nicht gesehen. Deepl Übersetzung: Translated with DeepL.com (free version): Hi, I switched to Linux because of constant problems with that lousy Windows XP. I tried Ubuntu first, and since then I’ve only been running Linux on my desktop and laptop. I’ve completely ditched Windows—nobody really needs it, except for a few applications that are only available on Windows?! Over the years, I’ve tried quite a few distros through “distro hopping”—Arch-, Debian-, RedHat-, and other-based distros— most recently testing MXLinux and Cachy for an extended period, always installed directly on an SSD rather than in a VM. I’ve been using SolydXK with KDE for about 2 months now: - Runs super fast for me and shuts down just as quickly - Only the bare essentials are installed—KISS!! - Needed software installs without any issues - Everything works right out of the box—printer, scanner, Wi-Fi… simply everything! - As fast as BodhiLinux (which was the fastest so far) or Cachy (also very, very fast) when launching applications There are absolutely no problems.... I hope the small team in the Netherlands keeps up the good work with this absolutely outstanding distro. Maybe the team could add a snapshot feature for the fully configured system, similar to what’s available in MX Linux. That little program is simply brilliant—I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else. Was this review helpful?

Yes No Version: 13-202605 Rating: 10 Date: 2026-05-25 Country: Croatia Votes: 0 I have never written a review of any distro before, but after years of using more than 20 distros for different kinds of work (software development, computer vision, studying, or just for fun), I decided to give this distro some well-deserved attention. Now that I am using version 13 - which I held off on as long as possible due to other distros going in directions I do not like - everything works flawlessly. If you need stability, driver compatibility, and a true "plug and play" distro no matter your hardware, this is it. When I say that, I mean even old Intel 2nd or 3rd Gen or new Ryzen processors work perfectly. Also, a €2 WiFi USB dongle works just as well as a €17 one in terms of out-of-the-box driver availability. When it comes to the user interface and experience, it features that great default SolydXK look again. It is perfect: you get the lightness of XFCE with a design reminiscent of KDE 5, or you can simply opt for modern KDE 6. I am so keen on the SolydX interface that when I use Fedora XFCE, I customize it specifically to look like SolydX. Now that recent Fedora releases have dropped some standard tools I rely on, there won't even be a need to do that anymore; I can just stick with SolydXK. My recommendation to all new users who need stability for work: if you require specific older versions of certain tools, it is much better to install a solid SolydXK system that ships those versions by default rather than trying to piece them together from 'extra' packages.
