Either way I'd be much more likely to try out this distro if it had support for Nvidia drivers from the stable branch (not the long-lived one).
Edit: Also, I have a GTX 1080 so this doesn't apply to me, but the long lived drivers do not appear to support the 1080 ti which came out a couple weeks ago, so you're missing hardware support as well.

.
- intel_drv.so suffers massive visual artefacts
- Optimus systems fail to boot using nouveau, you MUST install proprietary drivers
- Tearing is NOT solved. It's still god awful. With compiz+mate its more bearable.
- AMD Hybrid GPU systems with open drivers also fail to boot.
So we'd all appreciate the things promised by New Things, the reality is they need testing, and in the case of X.Org 1.19, its very, very sick.
You can look at the solus build page, I'm reverting xorg 1.19 as we speak.

I propose offering both.
EDIT: I'm referring to NVidia drivers, not X.Org versions.Last edited by indepe; 01 April 2017, 03:44 PM.

- Tearing is NOT solved. It's still god awful. With compiz+mate its more bearable.
- AMD Hybrid GPU systems with open drivers also fail to boot.

You can update the Nvidia driver separately from xorg-server.
