🚀 CachyOS is a performance-optimized Arch Linux distribution with CPU-specific package builds, advanced kernel scheduling, and an effortless installation — delivering measurable speed gains without sacrificing simplicity.
How do you manage the updates? I do them once every two weeks, but even though I work in tech I have no desire to manually check each repo/kernel/update info. Last month or two there was an alert saying something among the lines of “we’re working on removing malware from the latest updates” and that made me wary.
Still a better experience than running Windows, but I miss the flatpacks from other distros.
This was the reason to switch to OpenSuse Slowroll. I still get updates nearly everyday but not nearly as much. The big updates are bundled once a month. Love it so far.
Its still weird to me how tribal some in the linux community are, when the whole reason there is such a range of distros is to provide options so people can run their own computers however they want.
Like, I hate gnome, but if other people like it then its great that it exists etc
I had this problem the first time using it, but once I learned about how to use homebrew with it (included by default now, by the way!) and distrobox with universal installer, I got a lot more comfortable with it!

What is the problem that prevents you from using as many flatpaks as you wish?
Welp, I guess I should’ve looked for it a little more, it does seem like you can you flatpaks with Arch/CachyOS! 🤦♂️

Bonus: also a German distro.

Oh, the 4726 updates whose failure I have to acknowledge one by one? Yes, I hated those when I was testing CachyOS a while ago. 🤬

hmm
bazzite is the best and easiest distro out there and getting better all the time with new tools to make it even easier to use
also you can pin versions of the OS at any time so if an update doesn’t work as well for you, you can boot the previous version any time you like
this is the one that made you mad constantly
lol

I agree fully, same experience.

Wait until they hear about BTRFS snapshots
