I was daily driving CachyOS because my main activity is gaming and some light work in the browser, but as with any arch based distro there is always that fear in the back of your head that an update might break everything (granted, it's easy to rollback)....and then I found this hidden gem. You get stupid-proof stability, cachyos performance level (I'm using proton-cachyos as well) with the native Steam package and a very useful package manager that can also manage Gnome extensions (this is a killer feature). This distro literally combines the best of all worlds, immutable base with the best perfomance packed with the latest software and the ability to use dnf, I see a bright future ahead.
Only problems I had so far were with the Raku software manager, it's a bit rough around the edges at the moment. For example:
- I installed VLC via software manager and then I tried to uninstall it (RPM version) but even though I used the "uninstall" button the app was still available on my system and I could open it.
- Another thing is that it doesn't list all of the installed RPM packages available in the "Installed" tab.
- If I search for the gnome-characters (or just "characters") app in the software manager and open it, the window expands horizontally in a very long line (i'm using two monitors, main one being an ultra wide monitor 21:9)
Just leaving my feedback and hope it gets fixed in the future. I'm using the Gnome version (full amd build).
And again, fantastic job devs! thank you for my new daily driver, can't wait for that donate button.
