  • I’ve only once had a broken firmware update in years and it was an easy fix.

    I’m not sure how people can recommend other distributions when they all have issues of one sort or another and you just have to do the bare minimum sometimes to fix them.

    Judging from how hasty you are to dismiss a distribution based on a singular event, I would say it will be hard to find other distributions that can be what you wish them to be.

    Not gate keeping here, but even in Windows/Mac there are issues which require some research to fix, sometimes even harder than linux ones.



















  • I’ve been an arch user for years and recently switched to Cachy cause of performance promises and curiosity. I did use their repos before in arch,but I ended up with a mess and instead of fixing the mess I decided to wipe the slate clean.

    It’s a decent distribution ,like most,but it did offer me 0 stutters in Path of Exile 2. With Arch I had so many stutters for some reason that it was really unplayable. I think anancy-cpp or kernel schedulers, or everything combined, but I was pleasantly surprised.

    Anyway, fire up a vm, or install on baremetal and decide for yourself .


  • it’s a very interesting distribution. it feels and probably is slightly faster than arch, with their optimised packages (I had v3), but to be honest you have to rely on their prebuilt binaries and I prefer flatpaks.

    I used it for ~ 3 months, but eventually went back to arch and flatpaks (using flatpaks on cache defeats the purpose of having v3/v4 packages, until someone starts bundling optimised dependencies ).

    I prefer the originals always, but it is a viable alternative if you enjoy a friendly installer (their Anaconda is very nice).
