    Unpopular opinion: install community distros, not corporate ones. That way you can support the developers for their hardwork. Redhat doesn't need our money, they already make enough of it. I use CachyOS, btw.

    I just switched to CachyOS and I’m really enjoying it so far. My journey so far has been Mint > Bazzite > Kubuntu > back to Mint > CachyOS and for the first time I don’t have any real complaints. There’s a voice inside my head telling me to jump to just standard Arch though. Not really sure why. Have you tried standard Arch? If so, how does it compare to CachyOS? I probably won’t end up switching, I haven’t had any issues yet and I’m a computer problem magnet and certified idiot, so I’ll probably stick to what works, but something draws me to pure Arch.

    Standard arch is just a downgrade from cachy if you just want a functional computer and not have to think about it.

    [–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

    I've run vanilla arch for quite a while. CachyOS is a ton better. Arch is barebones and you have to do everything yourself. If you have the time and patience to do it, then more power to ya. I'm a dad of two, one of which is on the spectrum. So, I wanted something like Arch that just works and doesn't require too much maintenance, and cachy has been just that.

    I've not had a single major issue with it in the 3 months it's been running on my machine. Just your normal Linux annoyances. I love how the gaming package on cachy is literally one click of a button. Also, it's a lot faster

    Thanks for your input. I’m going to be a dad soon, so I should probably stick with cachy then.

    [–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    Dude, fucking congratulations 🎉🎉. And yes, your PC should never take time away from your kids. I love taking care of mine, they're so much fun. I love that my PC just works. And if Cachy gives me any trouble, it's gone and will be replaced with something immutable like Bazzite. I legit want my machine to JUST work with minimal issues. I have had Bazzite on a laptop I have for close to 6 months now and it's rock solid and a true just works distro.

    Thanks man, yeah I’m pretty excited. I’ve always wanted kids, it’s crazy to think I’m finally going to have one soon.

    For sure, family always comes first, especially kids.
