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.

My son recently switched to CachyOS after bad experiences with Windows, Bazzite, more Windows, Mint and Zorin. CachyOS was the first time he was happy since losing his love for Windows.

And he doesn't like command lines and configuring stuff, but he says for CachyOS everything was easy and there's tutorials simply telling you what to type, and that works.

He does need to remember that after yay you still need to answer a bunch of questions, because he was wondering why a Discord update didn't work while the update was waiting for his input. There's probably an option somewhere to tell it to always use the default.

The option is --noconfirm although its probably better tp get in the habit of manually reviewing those at first. The option is mainly used for automation where its helpful to allow the script to move along.
