That matches my experience with Cachyos, it's a rolling and cutting/bleeding edge distro which means it maybe cuts you occasionally. They still seem to be finding their way with some aspects like changing what bootloader they want to use (I'm not sure how much difference it makes to the maintainers, but it seems a little like bike-shedding for a distro which is out in public), and there's some changes which are forced on them like the nvidia drivers splitting between open/closed.
That's in contrast with what I perceive with a lot of gamers (seeing as Valve is being mentioned a lot) where they see a PC as a deluxe console with steam as the UI, and seem to be desiring a high level of polish. That's in combination with signalling that they're using the latest and greatest, tweaking to get the most out of their rigs, showing off their pretty color coordinated builds, and somehow are expected to dive into linux (and the freedom it brings) when there's hostility to running more than one client/store/downloader/gaming package manager. Some aspects of PC gaming seem weird to me.
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoIMO bootloaders deserve more attention than they’ve traditionally gotten in mass-targeted distros. GRUB is ugly and to less technical users, initimidating. With modern EFI stacks the ceiling for UX is much higher.
- scblock 1y agoGrub doesn't have to be ugly. Mine loads into a 4k framebuffer with a nice graphical setup. Only issue is secure boot and fonts don't seem to play nice so those are still basic monospace.
