Was looking into Nobara, realized its a solo dev, wondering if cachy is the best pick for compatibility. I play a lot of different stuff , use blender, controllers, flightsticks, etc. Not really into flightsims rnow and im dualbooting for now so its not a major issue on that front. Just want most steam games and controllers, drivers, etc. to work and get the best performance.
Update: Went with Cachyos for now, but first sign of any issues and I’ll switch to bazzite since it seems to be safer and more reliable. Havent had any issues so far.
I dont understand what the setup issue is, I have everything I need running fine, going back and forth between hyprland (the 2nd most popular preconfiged version) and plasma. Windows is boring and I want better performance for rendering, arch (cahcyos) I seem to get great perfomance so far idling barely uses any resources and most obvious is I can open like 200 tabs without issue while any browser on windows lagged after 10.
Cachyos does have a gui for setup and its easy to use gparted from the install os or whatever the usb versions called. That was my only issue having to manually partition because auto didnt work, but i just followed the same steps, was pretty intuitve. Arch itself looks maybe annoying to setup, but through cachyos or endeavor it seems to be the move for perfomance and compatibility. Or Bazzite, I do want to be able to run games without tinkering and I ran some steam games off windows on my external ssd eithout issue.
