Solus
We build open source desktop experiences and the Solus operating system that is designed for home computing.

About

- Brisk Menu: A modern menu for the MATE Desktop.
- Budgie: A distribution agnostic, feature-rich desktop environment designed to keep out of the users way.
- Optimized Gaming Experience leveraging our custom Steam runtime environment and Linux Steam Integration project, responsible for intercepting library requests by games and serving optimized alternatives.
