Solus is a no-frills desktop distribution that makes using Linux a no-brainer
Briefly

The latest release of Solus is available now and can be downloaded and installed for free on as many computers as you need. This open-source desktop distribution offers a flexible user-interface and a reliability no closed-source operating system can offer.
This distribution isn't based on Ubuntu, Fedora, or Arch. Rather, Solus is built from scratch. You won't find apt, dnf, pacman, or any other package manager from another distribution.
The default Solus desktop offers a bottom panel, desktop menu, system tray, clickable launchers, and icons. Sound familiar? It should be because the layout has been in use since the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), which predates Windows 95.
Of course, this isn't Windows, it's Linux, so it also offers reliability and security that Windows can't match.
