If so, what do you think about it? I just made the switch from endeavourOS. I had some technical issues at first but that’s all fixed now and I’m really impressed. I thought I was done distro-hopping but apparently not.
7 months distro hopping sober here ! All thanks to CachyOS.
The installation is seamless thanks to calamares, there are some graphic tools that can help for beginners on arch. Their kernel might be one of the most optimised one to have a smooth experience while gaming. I do not play ressources hungry games, so I can not really tell.
After setting snapshots, I decided to experience it totally blind folded, just to see how long I can last on it. I update the system around 2 times a week, never read any changelog, just like any of the other distro I used… And for now, I’ve never had any trouble.
My system seems to be way smoother and more responsive than with fedora or tumbleweed.
I use my computer mostly for steam, heroic, librewolf and LibreOffice.
The kernel is really impressive. I tried the zen kernel and failed to notice any difference. The Cachy kernel was obvious. I couldn’t believe it. Software being compiled for your hardware is awesome too. Everything feels faster. Also, happy to hear from a fellow Librewolf user.
I was until earlier this week as it just seemed unstable for me. It was a coin flip whether or not booting would actually work or get stuck at various points of the boot process. Reverted back to EOS and everything is fine again
I’ve been using cachyos on my computer for around a year or more, I think? It’s been fine, but I prefer endeavorOS overall.
I like the more vanilla feeling of endeavour if it makes sense.
I also had some technical issues, but nothing insurmountable. The last several months we’re uneventful actually. There are not enough differences for me to switch yet and I assume cachy is a bit faster, but I can’t tell for sure.I have been using cachyos for around a month. Its been ok so far, things like the browser are quite fast. And I like some of the gui tools wich make some things easier, although you have similar tools in endevour os.
I dont know whether its really worth it to switch to cachy from endevour. I’d say just stick with endevour os, If you really want things like the browser than yiu can download it, similar to things like the soecial kernel. but at this point its switching from somewhat stable and close to source arch based, to some what less stable but slightly faster arch based.
I’m currently using the handheld edition on my steam deck and I like it much better than steam os. Mainly it’s because I can actually use the aur and not rely on flatpack. It also doesn’t override my tweaks when the os updates.
I use it on my gaming desktop. No complaints so far, but it literally only has Steam and Heroic on it. I’ve been using Endeavour on my laptop for about a year and a half now and don’t see any reason to switch — if anything I kind of prefer EOS, but Cachy is great for gaming out of the box.
Sorry if I commented Twice but Cachyos is amazing a little bit unstable But I Really love it’s Custom Kernels,Leveraging cpu instructions etc for Performance and its also really flexible. (the rare distros that does this) my recommendation only switch to Cachyos if your Cpu atleast supports x86_64-v3 but if you want you can add their repos/kernel in endeavour if you dont wanna install Cachyos: https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/optimized_repos/ .
I’ve run it on and off for about 6 months. Just switched to it as daily driver. Absolutely love it. Arch but with automatic x64v3/4, including Wine & Proton?! Sign me up. Which is installed with an fantastic gaming meta package, and I regularly get ~10% FPS boost. Excellent default kernel, too.
