I reinstalled my laptop from Manjaro to CachyOS, and I’ve had a really great experience, I’ve never had a Linux install be ready to game with ‘one click’ before* but that was my experience this time

Kudos to the CachyOS and salutations to to the CachyOS community

I have a Steam Deck that’s been painless, but that’s just running the SteamOS that shipped with it, I didn’t install that

Great distro indeed. I've been having a good time with it. No breakage so far and hoping it stays that way.

Yeah, I’d be interested to see what difference in design or structure CachyOS has in place to avoid that gradual drift into breakage I experienced with Manjaro

But ultimately it’s a passion project powered by a bunch of lovely enthusiasts, if I get another 2 years out of it and than make another hop it’s not going to be the end of the world

I came from EndeavourOS. Used it for over 3 years. It was great, but had to break to no return every 4 - 5 months. An update would come out of nowhere and destroys it and no timeshift backup fixes it. I had to reinstall every single time it happened.

Got sick of it and then tried Nobara. That was hell on earth. Random reboots all the time. System would randomly freeze and I had to reboot to fix it. It got out of hand and I hated my PC because of it.

Tried Bazzite, but discovered that immutable distros are not for me. Been on cachy for about a month now and things have been great so far. I now try to avoid the AUR at all cost. Thankfully, they have packaged so many packages I used to get from the AUR on endeavour OS, and now I think I only have 2 or 3 apps from the AUR.

I can respect the immutable distro ethos, but I know enough about it to know it's not for me, might give it another run on a gaming handheld/dedicated living room gaming machine where I won't care nearly as much about building gitlab slop or endlessly tweaking my shell/UI

That's exactly what they're for, a handheld or a living room gaming machine. They can be a console where your only use of it is playing games, then yes, I'll do an immutable.
