Windows is getting worse, while gaming on Linux is getting better. I’m gonna move my desktop to CachyOS. Wish me luck.

I personally run Gentoo btw, but was not going to subject a first-time Linux user to that lol. So I installed CachyOS on their PC, yeah

TIL people still use Gentoo.

There's really never been a better time to run Gentoo tbh, processors are so fast that compilation does not really take as long as you'd expect anymore. Probably the best hardware support of all Linux distros, and its good for gaming or workstation.

If I wasn’t so intent on going to Nix, I’d give Gentoo a try. Currently an Arch user due to laziness and AUR, but the AUR is not as consistent an experience as memory serves so if it doesn’t fulfill laziness I might as well move on.

And I subjected a first time user to Debian 13 lol

I'm currently using NixOS and I constantly switch back to CachyOS every now and again. By far the best Arch based distros and one of the best overall distros available.

Maybe I should do some researching but what do you like about Cachy over plain Arch? That it’s gaming optimized?
