pjol, I got tickled by @Solus a few days ago when i stumbled across their prompt postings on resolving issues with the latest update so i now have it running on two devices so i can try it out and see how i like it.
Seems hibernation does not work on the laptop even though i chose to enable swap with hibernation at install but thats about it so far.
Besides that first impressions are positive, they seem to have a great community filled with friendly and helpful users, and even some devs seem to be active on their forums. Also their help docs seem good. One thing i really appreciated was how easy it was to find all the packages and other resources since everything is on github. They also seem to have done a lot of restructuring since the kerfuffle.
