DO NOT Try SOLUS

To start with it does not look like a standard Linux Distribution.
USB image is 3.2GB and boots OK.
To begin with it configures the WiFi OK.
It does not have an entry for EFI to begin with. It ERASED the EFI with FAT32. I went back deleted and made a new EFI ENTRY.
It.Actually it made FAT partition to boot as im Legacy computer.
Later I found that EFI partition allows any boot script to be written either legacy or UEFI. I have no problem with EFI since I do not use Microsoft Windows.
Installation took only 11 minutes and I knew it would not boot. 
Besides, it killed the BIOS entry without EFI for booting. BIOS flagged me to say, that there is no hard disk to boot. 
I was so annoyed I made lot of mistakes while making correction but Debian Base warns me of my mistake before committing.
SOLUS did not flag or gave any warnings.

I guessed at the end this SAGS SOLUS may come alive since I left /boot entry.
It did not and I do not know what dedkto it has.
I think this is an independent distribution made by some bone headed guys in Ireland, just luke ZORIN guys.

If SOLUS come alive I would find 10 more of its shortcimings, if ever it mounts on my NUC. These guys probably were Unity and Budgie guys who have lately realized their own mistakes and trying to come to the fold of Debian by stealing the work of Debian.

AVOID this distribution by all means.

Since I have not used it in the past and I am going to make an entry in my upcoming book, this SAGA was a necessary episode but was a Catastrophe.
I really went mad.
