OtterCachyOS Is Now the Most Popular Desktop Distro on ProtonDB
☂️-gotta try it out. how do you guys like it over endeavour?
MountaineerI’ve been running Cachy for a few months - it just works.
I picked it because it appeared to be easy to install Arch (which I’ve run before, btw) with sane defaults.
But that’s exactly what Endeavour is from what I just read.
I don’t know if the purported optimisations provide any real world benefit, but the major reason I went Cachy is it being the flavour of the month.
For the time being, it’s where a lot of focus is for new development in the gaming space.
Limine is also a good reason for people who want the benefits of Arch but are worried about bad updates. Being able to rollback to an earlier snapshot in the boot menu is nice for new users
KoryInteresting, thank you.
Was checking it out and will leave the link here in case someone else wants to read about it: wiki.cachyos.org/installation/boot_managers/
sbirdBased on the experiences I have seen with others, it looks like CachyOS has more software installed out-of-the-box (compared to EndeavourOS being more minimal). Both look similarly easy to install and offer many different DEs (I think CachyOS has a few more though, but you could manually install others)
I personally use EndeavourOS as I like that it’s more minimal and don’t really care about the gaming optimisations of CachyOS. It seems pretty neat though, so I might try it out one day if I get a newer computer that would benefit from those bits.
