For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

I originally used EndeavourOS with hyprland and I tried to us kdenlive, but it would never start. I then tried to install kde-plasma, but it would never boot into the plasma DE. I went and installed kubuntu to use the kde apps, but things just work better for me on arch, like Bluetooth connectivity. So I decided to switch back to arch through Cachy.

Maybe an XWayland fuckup back then when Kdenlive didn't yet transition to Wayland.

I'm not sure. It was strange that plasma would crash and not boot even after reinstalling it. I think there may have been some conflicts I wasn't aware of. Either way, I have had no issues with things running properly on Cachy.
