I really like Solus, but I've had issues updating it.
I installed it on an old laptop for a friend, which they have occasionally used for a year or two. Recently, they wanted help setting up a USB device, so I started by trying to update. The GUI showed a progress bar like it was working on it, but it wouldn't proceed.
To debug, I ran the update utility from the command line. It spit out an error that the update server JSON wouldn't load. I copied the URL and paste it into a browser - it was some sort of cache miss. It made it so I couldn't update or install anything, forcing me to reinstall the OS. This was a couple weeks ago.
I also vaguely remember something similar happening when I used it for a year or so; where I couldn't get updates to work and had to reinstall.
