I installed Solus in under 20 Minutes, and this is what happened
Welcome to Part 1 of my 6-part Linux gaming challenge!
In this series, I'm testing how beginner-friendly different Linux distros are when it comes to installing the OS, updating it, and launching a game through Steam with a controller, all from scratch.
In this episode, we kick things off with Solus Linux.

🛠️ Can a noob with some tech knowledge get Solus up and running easily?
🎮 How smooth is it to install Steam and launch a game?
🎮 Does controller support work out of the box?
I’m not using any pre-tweaked gaming distros like Bazzite, just base or independent distros that require some setup. Subscribe to follow the rest of this Linux gaming experiment!
👊 Stick around, see how Solus handles it, and let me know in the comments which distro you think will perform best.
