It's awesome! Totally! Not just for gaming though. It's a "normal" Linux too.

But a yr ago I tried it on a 2ND nvme and left winblows there for "when nothing works". I am a massive nerd, with many self written tools and I have a very precise demand of my machine and how it behaves.

Never tried Linux desktops. Only ever uses it for servers.

Well, the windows drive is still there, but I never ever booted it again. Even made a VM of it for super-quick emergencies. Never started it.

Everything works the same or better. Most of my tools were basically fixing windows, don't need them anymore. And except destiny2 I can game every game with basically zero problems.

And I game at least 5hrs a day. Sometimes a but of tinkering is helpful (rarely needed). Especially if you want to run a side-app like cheatengine or some map-tools or whatever else.

Long story short: cachy is awesome! Being a German adds a nice bonus flavour.
