Was looking into Nobara, realized its a solo dev, wondering if cachy is the best pick for compatibility. I play a lot of different stuff , use blender, controllers, flightsticks, etc. Not really into flightsims rnow and im dualbooting for now so its not a major issue on that front. Just want most steam games and controllers, drivers, etc. to work and get the best performance.
Update: Went with Cachyos for now, but first sign of any issues and I’ll switch to bazzite since it seems to be safer and more reliable. Havent had any issues so far.
I’m not a fan. I used Cachy for several months but ran into a variety of issues. The repo tends to be a bit behind because it’s only a single maintainer handling it, but it also doesn’t seem to play nice with the standard arch repo and mixing.
It feels like the Manjaro thing all over again.
Despite its claims of speed I found it to perform no better than Endeavor OS, but it was a lot more unstable.
I’ve switched back to Endeavor with no complaints.
Ill look into endeavor, I don’t think performance is going to be an issue with any linux os since it idles using less resources and AMD seems to have better support consistently than amd. Whats your process in switching distros? Seems annoying to remember all the settings for customizing the de and all the apps ive downloaded, ive already forgotten. Do you just keep a list of whatevers important?
I keep all my important files on a NAS already, so my desktop is pretty much exchangeable, only takes maybe 20-30 mins at most to get up and running including the install time.
pacman -Syuin this case)/home/$USER/Disks/and in that pathNVMe,sda,sdb,sdc, etc.)That’s pretty much it for desktop. If it’s my gaming PC, the “Calibre” portions there would be swapped with installing Steam and Heroic Launcher, but otherwise the same.
