Windows is getting worse, while gaming on Linux is getting better. I’m gonna move my desktop to CachyOS. Wish me luck.

I somewhat broke my Linux mint Debian edition and decided to distro hop a bit. So I wanted to try popos but when trying to install it the windows and everything were broken like when you dragged the windows it left shadows and you couldn't see anything on it. So I ended up with CachyOS and so far that was awesome. Especially like that you can just clone the bottom panel which I struggled with on mint. The only "problem" I have with it is that there's no app manager like on mint just octopi that is too minimalist and doesn't seem to search well and some apps I assume aren't for arch so looking for some app manager to install that would be similar to mint or just more noon friendly, just normal GUI. Well, there's my short story of finding CachyOS is good so far.

    I believe when you say app manager, you mean a package manager GUI. If so, you might like GuiMan

    Thanks for the recommendation. That looks much better than the default app manager!

    I mean, personally, I just use yay in the terminal and if I need to research a package I use the arch wiki or aur website. But this does look promising for people that aren't used to that or who might be intimidated by a terminal.

    If you want something that hides all of the ugly console garbage, well that’s not an option on Arch because reading the pacman output is mandatory; using something like Discover (which hides it) will break your system eventually.

    On the other hand, if you just mean “a small curated list of apps for specific tasks”, there actually is one, it can be launched from CarhyOS Hello.

    Don't apologise to the grammar police, they are more afraid of you then you are from them.

    It's not about unclear communication. You know exactly what they meant.

    Yes if I can figure it out with extra effort then I'm evil for saying anything

    If you genuinely didn’t understand, there are nicer ways to ask for clarification than “wat”.

    No one said I couldn't understand. If it were up to people like you, we'd not even have standard spelling because you pretend that the ability to eventually understand something is all that matters.

    ...Alright then.

    If you genuinely had difficulty understanding, there are nicer ways to ask for clarification than “wat”.

    How are you not getting this? For a moment I was trying to understand what they took the sides off of. Because they wrote "desided". I then figured it out via context but it was confusing where they even got that spelling from, especially given that spell check is a basic feature on every device.

    I have absolutely no idea why you think I am claiming it was incomprehensible or that I owe randos online some arbitrary amount of being polite that you define. "Wat" has been a meme for, what, 15 years? And many would've taken it as playful, which it was. Get off my back, jfc
