CachyOS Is Now the Most Popular Desktop Distro on ProtonDB - Lemmy.ca

It is also first in the Distrowatch rank https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=cachyos [https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=cachyos] I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier. If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process. Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

What’s the difference between this and a fresh install of Arch with a DE like KDE/Gnome?

I’ve been using Arch for so long now that if I bought a new machine I would find it hard to try anything else.

I think it’s aimed more at newbies than seasoned veterans like yourself.

Yeah Arch exists for such a long time I will take base distros for reliability any day. Even if that means losing slight performance many things will go mainline in the future or if I cared enough I’d just patch them there. I honestly feel like baseline distros are really good long term and I think Archs barebones approach is perfect tbh
