Add Solus (64-bit) as Linux operating system -> won't fix for now

Description

Solus is an independent x86_64 linux operating system built from scratch that exists since 2015 and that is quite popular according the the Distrowatch Ranking page.

As a new user, it is not obvious what should be selected for creating a new virtual machine for this OS as it is not based on another linux distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, ...). Seeing it's there for a few years now and it seems to have quite a large user base, it would be nice to find "Solus (64-bit)" in the versions.

At the moment that is not something we want to do, due to the high number of popular Linux distributions. We are thinking about better ways of dealing with this. So sorry, I will close this as "won't fix for now".
