Which is better for gayming?
Please provide well structured and thought out arguments.
>>
>>106953836
The answer is it depends, both are good options.
but here is where they differ.
Simpler experience:
Bazzite, it's harder to break and more effort is made to find gaming related software easier. steam comes preinstalled for example.
Performance:
Cachy, you can mess things up and is more general performance rather than gaming but it performs better in a lot of benchmarks.
>>
>>106953836
Why don’t they make games like just cause 2 anymore?
>>
Honestly the differences between them on the gaming front are so negligable that it's not really worth caring.
>>
>>106953836
The answer is windows 10 ltsc
>>
>>106954146
is cachy really gonna break on the first update?
>>
>>106954127
(((Shareholder value)))
>>
I always end up getting an update the messes my stuff up with Cachy and Bazzite just comes with too much useless crap. I'd just go with Fedora and set it up for gaming or maybe Nobara.

The whole point of CachyOS is its optimized repos, which are irrelevant once you start installing FlatPaks or running Windows binaries in Wine/Proton. Hypothetically speaking though, CachyOS is better IF your favorite game happens to be in its optimized repos. I hope you like OpenMW, 0 A.D., Xonotic, SuperTuxKart, etc.

>The whole point of CachyOS is its optimized repos
The programs which arguably would benefit the most from optimization, browsers and emulators, are conspicuously absent from CachyOS's v3, v4 and zen repos.
If you like games, have Windows 10 or 11 installed somewhere. You can set up "Windows to Go" using Rufus, if having Windows on your internal drive gives you the ick.

The answer is
AMD: Nobara
Nvidia: Cachy

Windows 10 IoT, I tried linux and won't do it ever again, Also keep a windows partition, if you erase windows from your ssd the storage format will change and you won't be able to reinstall windows again without formatting you ssd.

And that's a bad thing how?

This. Cachyos is a meme

>>106953836
>gayming?
Depends
> Raw performance
CachyOS
> Long term stability, just works
Bazzite.
I have an Asus ally x and use the deckify builds for it. I love love love Cachy and think they're doing a great job but their updates regularly break the device. My wife's steamdeck is far more stable on Cachy and doesn't break which means to me they aren't QCing the builds against an ally.
The desktop environment may be better but you'll need to be comfortable figuring out how to the terminal for pacman and the like.
> Bazzite
Is a great training wheels Linux distro and got me back into Linux after not using it since 2006. Instead of apt get, just swap to rpm-ostree.
I credit Bazzite with getting me to an intermediate level with the terminal which made tinkering with cachy easier.
Right now, I'm using Bazzite on my ally x and laptop. Cachy is on my wife's steamdeck so she can play her sims 4 and other RTS games and my kiddo just has steamOS on her legion go.

This.
On AMD you have like 1% difference between the "big 3 gaming distro" but on Nvdia Baz and Nob lose big

never used Linux before and went with Cachy
shit just works
>>
>>106955243
Why would anyone use "catchy" or "poozzite"? pajeets? Unable to use basic arch?
>>
>>106953836
For gayming bazzite. There's no performance difference
>>
>>106953836
Interesting question I also have. I downloaded this Bazzite already on my USB stick but it says my 750 Ti is unsupported. Will gamestream work?

I consider testing this and CachyOS on my secondary AM4 build for evaluation if I put it on my laptop.
>>106954271
I use that but if some old games and software were to work on Linux I would switch. Keep Win10 on main gaming / editing PC.
>>
>>106953836
>Which is better for gayming?
Cachy ofc
In fact Bazzite is doing some retarded shit that makes it worse than Ubuntu in terms of performance
>>
>>106960208
>750 Ti
Lmao
>>
>>106960236
Or a GT 530

Although I may have just bought a R9 Fury for 20 € if he really does it

Its still 10 times better than those and has the Displayport I would need for 4K desktop

That 750 Ti is so shitty it has no HDMI only a chunky DVI adapter
>>
>>106955481
LLENN!
>>
>>106953836
Someone have the fat black woman with the bazzite logo?
>>
so cachy is better if you want to game but also want a normal os and already have linux experience?
