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

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

one of the main things is it's just painfully easy to install and have set up. I've installed regular arch countless times but sometimes I just don't want to be bothered with that so installing CachyOS just makes things easier/smoother.

Their repos are great, their kernel is great (to the point I'm even using it on NixOS) and it's just an overall smooth experience.

Plus I like the options they give you for DE's and WM's on install which they provide just about all of them with their own tailored configs.
