I run a dual boot of windows and am currently dauly-driving CachyOS quite happily. I've been playing some Crimson desert and got some occasional crashes... But any other game I have has run smoothly.
Their GUI tools for package management are thin wrappers on CLI tools, but are enough hand-holding that most people should navigate it fine. More devices worked out of the box for my with Linux than Windows.
Just like if you haven't tried AI in a year and have mocked it, you need to try it again. Of you haven't tried Linux desktop in a few years, you need to try again. CachyOS really does seem to handle the driver installs and gaming compatibility well.
- raggi 7mo agoCachy pushed a Limine update last weekend without any testing. It broke everyone with secure boot signing. Head proton versions are great, but games tend to turn into a laggy mess after a couple of hours and need regular restarts. It's decent, but it's not all roses at all, and I wouldn't inflict it on non-techies yet.
- unethical_ban 7mo agoAh, I disabled secure boot assuming it's pointless and wouldn't work with arch and dual booting anyway. Maybe I have more to learn. Perhaps cachyos should maintain LTS metapackages for more than just the kernel. Video drivers, boot managers and whatnot. For a "non-gamer" I would probably keep them on Fedora or even Debian.
