[LINUX] I tried using "Solus OS" whose UI is too beautiful

What is Solus
Solus is a Fedora-based Linux-based OS (it seems that it was called ʻEvolve OS` until a while ago) developed for the purpose of user friendliness.
It's very simple and has a beautiful material-like UI.
--Firefox comes standard --Thunderbird standard equipment --Easy file management --Apps can be installed directly from the Software Center -+ α Beautiful UI
That seems to be the official appeal point.
environment
--Windows 10 (host) - CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X - RAM: 64 GiB - VIDEO CARD: RTX 2070 Super --VMWare Pro 15.5.5 (guest) - OS: Solus 4.1 Plasma - Disk: 20 GiB - RAM: 2,048 MB - CPU: 1 Processor 1 Core
Minimum operating environment of Solus
Quoted from Official Page.
- A blank DVD or a 2GB+ USB drive --Blank DVD or USB with a capacity of 2GB or more
- Minimum of 10GB of disk space available --Minimum 10GB free disk capacity
- 2GB of RAM for an optimal experience --Minimum 2GB of memory
- A 64-bit (x86_64) processor --64-bit processor
Installation
In this example, VMWare is used to install on a virtual environment. Of course, it is also possible to install from a USB bootable to a physical machine.
1. Download
Download the image from the Official Page.
In this example, Solus Plasma is installed.
2. Create a virtual machine
Create a new virtual machine.
Please specify the image downloaded in 1.
Specify any virtual machine name
Please specify the disc settings appropriately.
The final result is as follows.
3. Install Solus
When you power on the virtual machine you created, you'll see a desktop with the installed applications popping up.
When started, it will move to the language setting.
In this example, we recommend ʻEnglish (United States).  Next is the location settings. If you are connected to the internet, it will search automatically.  I set the keyboard layout to Japanese.  The time zone is Tokyo  Next is the disc related settings. In this example, it is installed on the virtual environment of VMWare, so there was no need to worry about interference with other files, so the former fresh installation was selected. If you want to set the partition individually, specify the latter.  LVM is not installed in this example.  Next is the boot loader and host name settings. The host name is arbitrary and installs the bootloader.  Next is the user settings. Create any user here as well.  In this example, it looks like this.  Finally, check the installation overview. Similarly, in this example, it is as follows.  A pop-up will appear, so if you like, ʻOK
When setup is complete, press Restart Now to restart.
After rebooting, you can confirm that the installation was successful.
How to install VMWare Tools
In the initial state installed on VMWare, the solution cannot be changed freely and cannot be expanded beyond the initial small window, so install VMWare Tools.
1. Setup
With the OS running, click VM-> Install VMWare Tools on the tab and it will automatically pass you the required binaries.
In this example, I moved it to ~ / Documents and unzipped it.
The contents should look like this.
Then launch the terminal.
You can find it by searching for Konsole or terminal from the start menu at the bottom left of the entire screen.
Create the required directories in advance.
- Required
By the way, sudo is also required and can only be executed by superuser.
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc0.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc1.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc2.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc3.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc4.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc5.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/init.d/rc6.d
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/pam.d
After creating the directory, execute the installation.
$ cd ~/Documents/vmware-tools-distrib
$ sudo ./vmware-install.pl
In this example, all the options asked after this are set to the default (Enter without entering anything). After the setup is complete, you can now shrink the screen without any problems.

It's not surprising that the Japanese fonts are a little floating, but
I was able to play 1080P lightly on heavy YouTube without feeling any stress. Rather light.
Impressions
--The UI is beautiful, anyway, it's beautiful and easy to see
- light --Easy and fast to set up
- simple
That was a big point in the first impression. From now on, I would like to increase the number of Japanese documents mainly for developers.
