What do yall think of #CachyOS? I’m looking to replace #bazzite on my semi-console PC because it’s a little too locked down (I’m on an Nvidia card but running the non-desktop first image). I’m familiar with Debian- and fedora-based distros but Cachy would be my first Arch outside the Steam deck #linux #linuxgaming

@cpgsaw If your machine is on the lower performing side, give Mabox a shot. It's also based on Arch, but with a beautiful OpenBox DE.

@cpgsaw I really liked cachyos. I’ve found arch based distros pretty stable as long as you update regularly and don’t tinker too much or use too much of the AUR. Can be helpful to check arch news before updates to see if there are any hiccups to be aware of. But it felt pretty fast and well put together. I don’t really game, so can’t speak to that, but it seems popular on that front.

@cpgsaw I have had great success on my main desktop as well as my HTPC. I found it to be very stable and it performs great. For the record, I am running AMD CPU and GPU.

@cpgsaw
#CachyOS is great and they also provide a handheld/console ISO. I, however, use #ChimeraOS on the couch PC and it's been great for years -

@cpgsaw I love it and it does seem to be up your alley if an immutable like Bazzite was too locked down for your liking.
However, if it's your first time venturing into Arch territory, I'd take some time to test it out before jumping in with both feet. The rolling release model can catch people by surprise with how different it is to operate.

@jasonhoss yeah it’s my big regret that when I did one last gasp upgrade to this pc, I went with a 4060 over the amd equivalent. If only I had known where Linux gaming would be in 2026

@dyrge is the rolling release all that different from Fedora? I know arch is usually more bleeding edge but I ran fedora 42 for awhile

@cpgsaw Yeah it's pretty different. Fedora is well updated in comparison to other fixed release models, but at the end of the day it still a cohesive update cycle where only bug and security fixes get introduced in between releases.
Rolling release is the entire system being constantly updated semi-asynchronously including feature releases. It has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Learning how to mitigate the latter is occasionally a pain point for people making the switch.
