Solus 1.1 Linux on Scale HC3
-
I wonder how this will stackup for people's preference compared to, say, Mint with Cinnamon.

Wow... that is very minimal and extremely sharp.
only gotten a tiny bit of time with it so far today, but the little bit that I have gotten... I like it quite a bit.

So far, I would say quite well. This is very slick as a desktop goes.

In the first 30 seconds, I'm impressed so far. Just started it in a VirtualBox vm and it was booted and ready to go before I looked back.

Web browsing with FireFox...

LibreOffice Calc 5

Very nice! I want it or something derived from it on my Raspberry and Banana Pis

I bet this on a Pi is awesome.
-
I don't believe that an ARM port has been made, yet.
-
They will catch up definitely! ARM is getting a very good kick now. Raspberry Pi is somehow underpowered by current "modern" means but Banana Pi solves most of the business cases AFAIK. That's NOT thin client if you care.
-
If only someone would make a board in the style of the RP but with the Tegra X1 or even K1, so much potential.
-
That is certainly an impressive looking desktop environment.

I haven't looked at RBP 3 vs. BP. Sounds like you've tried them both, what'd you find?

We got a bunch of both as a gifts to employees (you know, hardware company we actually gave Pis away to people who did MUCH more complex things themselves LOL) and I also kept few to feed video to old LCD TVs (rented apartments where I live now don't have USB ports and I like stream video on demand from IP directly). Raspberry Pis are OK never had any issue with those but both of my Banana's M3 are dead now and sent back for replacement. In theory Banana is better because CPU cycles / $ ar higher, R-Pi is still quirky when playing back video, also B-Pi has more OSes available incl. Android and some cool stuff I don't even remember now (I;m using Raspbian everywhere now).
