What if they find out that people went to CachyOS for even more performance?
Cachy uses a lot of unstable patches. I wouldn't recommend it just for benefit of bunch more frames.
So far it has been the most stable distro I've run, since moving to Linux full time three years ago, i think they are doing something right, idn 🤷
Agreed. The only major challenges I've had with CachyOS are from my Windows VM or from not realizing that Docker containers are the best option for server-type things, like the controller for my WiFi mesh network. Once I stopped trying (and failing) to run that from the AUR, it's been smooth sailing.
But most people would just buy the dedicated mesh network controller, and the only reason I need a Windows VM is for SharePoint integration in Explorer, which is a fairly specialized requirement. Even as a power user, I almost exclusively use the web apps for O365 just so I don't need to use Windows.
Apparently, earlier in CachyOS's history, there were more issues, but I don't think that's at all true anymore. I tried installing a more "standard"/conservative choice, Debian on my wife's and friend's laptops, and it's been way harder. I should have just stuck with "unstable" CachyOS, and it would have been much more stable. Turns out things usually get better with newer patches. Who knew?
Debian is IMO just bad distro for desktop users. There's a reason why Valve moved from Debian to Arch based for their SteamOS.
I was there early in CachyOS’s history, and it was still great. The only huge issues I can remember (that wasn’t totally self inflicted) are upstream Nvidia problems, and some ambiguous manual package installs/uninstalls when some stuff was shuffled and renamed. But the later just taught me to watch the update log, as I should.
That, and I keep an LTS kernel around whenever something minor breaks. Which their setup makes totally painless.
I agree with others. CachyOS is the most stable Linux distro I’ve ever used, to the point where my laptop and desktop installs are years old now. It’s also that Linux desktop, overall, is in a good place, but still.
