I’d like to note that I had no issues with installing wine like I would on regular arch, excepting the fact that it’s a custom version that runs a bit faster. Personally I don’t use samba but the cachy devs recently published an automated tool for samba that was reviewed in distrowatch’s article that doesn’t even require user intervention. Google chrome is a basic AUR package that while not officially supported (nothing directly from google really is, and for good reason) can be installed very easily with paru, which ships with cachy by default.

Wouldn’t surprise me. There are no lengths those well-established corporations wouldn’t go to to maintain their monopoly.

One of the biggest issues with Linux has always been fragmentation. With a bajillion different distros to choose from it makes it harder for any centralized development to crush long existing problems. A lot of talented devs out there, but too many of them are scattered.

Gotta say, this arch base distro was my home now, it was indeed snappy and stable compared to lm, and other debian base tested on my laptop. Idk what cachyos did to make it fast since I’m a noob on this kind of tech terms but, they have tools to help you install things esp game tools and more. Im aware of aur security lately and it actually helped to be aware on things I put into my system, but guess this is better than sticking to windows. For spec, I have 3050 rtx with amd cpu, fps wise its not far from windows actually or sometimes better depending on dlss setup. Funny thing is, budgie is one of my hatest de and arch based after my experience on manjaro but I’ve ended up loving it overtime lol, and I also love that they have opt for bootloader and de during installation. So far, this has been my longest stay on a linux distro and it’s been a lot of fun.

It tells NOTHING about a distro’s reliability or performance. It’s all in the eyes and mind of the individual user, not in mouse clicks!

Since CachyOS is such a young distro, only 2-1/2 years old, who knows how long it will last? Here today, gone tomorrow. Without corporate backing (Red Hat/Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, etc.) or a huge base of users who contribute to the distro’s existence and development (Linux Mint), most small projects will eventually flounder. Time will tell. Stick with a distro which has stood the test of time – 10-20 years.

Distrowatch’s recent review of CachyOS was not all hearts and flowers. Prove it to yourself!

Dear condescending.

100% means all.

100% less means 0.

If in doubt try to google “what does 100percent less mean”. It’s really basic maths.

I found out my touchscreen laptop loves TUXEDO betrer than Mint. AUR is a security disaster waiting to happen. Anyone can really inspect what is being installed and who the author/approver/reviewer is? I really doubt. I really do not understsd why Arch did not tighten security betrer and automate issues resolution during updates.
