4 days agoI came across this the other day but haven’t had a chance to use it. Hopefully this saves someone a lot of time installing programs.

6·6 days agoI’ve been distro hopping recently after ditching Windows about a year ago. Spent some time in mint, then fedora, and recently the ‘gaming’ distros. I have to say cachy is very nice and set up to succeed with a gui and nice welcome screen for people that don’t want to get into command line stuff. It’s really snappy and I haven’t had any issues yet. I hate to be one to jump on a bandwagon but if it works, it works. The only games that haven’t worked for me on Linux are the anti cheat ones like Madden. Good luck
Also, check your warranty. I just found some bad ram I bought years ago and thought I was in trouble. Turns out g.skill has a lifetime warranty
This is why I chose it. Gaming living room computer that kids can’t easily break. It just worked. Well, except for my idea to dual boot and have games pulling from an ntfs hdd. Bazzite hated that idea. So if you’re using bazzite, make sure your games are on a Linux partition. Even though Linux is ok with ntfs for some reason beyond my expertise… Games do not like it.
Or any of the other “easy” distros. To be honest… The “gaming” distros have been just as easy as mint to me. Cachy, bazzite, and to a lesser degree nobara (points knocked off for giving me grief after an update) have all been very easy and stable.
I think people get scared because everyone says you need to use command line in Linux. That’s not really true any more than it is in Windows. There are certain things that are easier with command line or other things that might need to be done there, but it’s easier and faster to look up what those things are than navigating the purposefully buried settings in Windows and everything basic can be done in gui anyhow. You can get as technical as you want in Linux.
The hardest thing for me about switching was finding comparable programs that I was used to. It takes time to find THE BEST PDF EDITOR or anything else on a new OS.
