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.
Never heard of it, what’s your reason for picking this one? Looks like it’s an Arch derivative, but the site doesn’t tell me much about what’s supposed to set it apart from vanilla Arch.
If you’re new to Linux, I would strongly recommend a mainstream distro popular enough that you can easily Google any issues that arise. Beyond that, distro honestly really doesn’t matter all that much - at least not until you’ve been using Linux long enough to know that there’s something specific you want from a particular distro and are interested in tinkering around for it. But starting out, just pick something Googleable, any mainstream distro will do.
It’s a performance orientated distribution with a significant amount of kernel patches and other tweaks. Whether it’s worth it is arguable, but using their kernel at least isn’t a bad idea.
Its the most popular one right now for gaming on reddit/youtube and its up there on distrowach, has a lot of support built in for stuff youd otherwise have to figure out, its kept up to date for the latest games apparently, I was looking into popos since its similarly optimized for games and 3d sims/rendering, ppl that had issues with it were switching to cachyos (they are working on their de and havent updated in a while)
