If so, what do you think about it? I just made the switch from endeavourOS. I had some technical issues at first but that’s all fixed now and I’m really impressed. I thought I was done distro-hopping but apparently not.
7 months distro hopping sober here ! All thanks to CachyOS.
The installation is seamless thanks to calamares, there are some graphic tools that can help for beginners on arch. Their kernel might be one of the most optimised one to have a smooth experience while gaming. I do not play ressources hungry games, so I can not really tell.
After setting snapshots, I decided to experience it totally blind folded, just to see how long I can last on it. I update the system around 2 times a week, never read any changelog, just like any of the other distro I used… And for now, I’ve never had any trouble.
My system seems to be way smoother and more responsive than with fedora or tumbleweed.
I use my computer mostly for steam, heroic, librewolf and LibreOffice.
The kernel is really impressive. I tried the zen kernel and failed to notice any difference. The Cachy kernel was obvious. I couldn’t believe it. Software being compiled for your hardware is awesome too. Everything feels faster. Also, happy to hear from a fellow Librewolf user.
I use it on my gaming desktop. No complaints so far, but it literally only has Steam and Heroic on it. I’ve been using Endeavour on my laptop for about a year and a half now and don’t see any reason to switch — if anything I kind of prefer EOS, but Cachy is great for gaming out of the box.
I’m currently using the handheld edition on my steam deck and I like it much better than steam os. Mainly it’s because I can actually use the aur and not rely on flatpack. It also doesn’t override my tweaks when the os updates.
