Probably the best hardware support of all Linux distros, and its good for gaming or workstation. permalink fedilink source parent [–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 point 11 months ago (3 children) If I wasn’t so intent on going to Nix, I’d give Gentoo a try. Currently an Arch user due to laziness and AUR, but the AUR is not as consistent an experience as memory serves so if it doesn’t fulfill laziness I might as well move on.

That it’s gaming optimized? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 2 points 11 months ago one of the main things is it's just painfully easy to install and have set up. I've installed regular arch countless times but sometimes I just don't want to be bothered with that so installing CachyOS just makes things easier/smoother. Their repos are great, their kernel is great (to the point I'm even using it on NixOS) and it's just an overall smooth experience. Plus I like the options they give you for DE's and WM's on install which they provide just about all of them with their own tailored configs. permalink fedilink source parent
