While the installer is more aesthetically pleasing than Ubuntu’s, some may find it confusing when it comes time to pick the root partition and related format.

- | Even with the usual Virtualbox bottleneck and slowdowns, installation was not bad at roughly 20 to 30 minutes for either. No updates awaited me, and this I attribute to the Debian underpinnings and the youthfulness of the OS itself (about 3 months old when I got it). Footprints were relatively low at less than 10 GB for either, once installed. | + | Even with the usual Virtualbox bottleneck and slowdowns, installation was not bad at roughly 20 to 30 minutes for either.

As for desktop designs, you get either the very basic Xfce or the somewhat more grandiose KDE. If you didn’t catch the hints, I’m referring to Xfce’s rather bland “here it is, take it or leave it” 2D qualities, or KDE’s “add enough widgets and you’ll never see that desktop again” design issues. | As for desktop designs, you get either the very basic Xfce or the somewhat more grandiose KDE.

About the only other indicator of one over the other is KDE’s better clarity and brightness.

- | Normally, I’d steer users with limited resources to the Xfce platform since it usually performs much faster than the fatter KDE offering; however, that’s not the case here. In fact, it wasn’t really close. KDE was a good 5 seconds faster to boot—even after adding desktop widgets that would normally cause it to crawl. However, I don’t consider Xfce’s average boot time of 30 seconds anything to laugh about, especially given that’s in Virtualbox. | + | Normally, I’d steer users with limited resources to the Xfce platform since it usually performs much faster than the fatter KDE offering; however, that’s not the case here.

While boot times were definitely different between the two, there was no discernible difference in performance beyond that. Both were equally quick in opening programs and files, saving documents, etc. If nothing else, either version of Solyd was quite fast once booted, even when using Live mode in Virtualbox. | While boot times were definitely different between the two, there was no discernible difference in performance beyond that.

First, it doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Remove the name and artistic logs and it could be confused with a couple dozen offerings I’ve reviewed over the years.

But there is no faulting the OS itself. It has never failed to work, and I have yet to induce a crash (and believe me, I do try hard). It just needs to be polished a bit more with some excitement added. Mind you, don’t go all Cadillac Cimaron on it, just add some pizzazz (Google that Cadillac, if the name doesn’t ring a bell, and you’ll see what I mean). | But there is no faulting the OS itself.
