what makes cachy a meme distro but not arch
it's basically the same shit, same as endeavour
>>
>>109354438
What then? I refuse to use Guh-nome. I want a proper DE with a taskbar and start menu and all that traditional stuff. I don't want to go full autism with the extra lightweight barebones shit like LXQT, so my only option then is Cinnamon, and if I'm going to use cinnamon then might as well use Mint, but Mint sucks.

>>109354504
endeavor and cachy are the same tier of meme distro they are both based on arch and made it slightly easier to install and thats why stupid faggots download it and cant fix even the most basic of issues.

stop fucking around on meme distros and use a real os that people actually daily for years and years.


>>109354510
just use windows man what benefit are you even getting ? if you want a less mean answer you need to suck it up and pick one of the following:

XFCE

pick a fucking wm and a taskbar its really not hard

MATE ( "wawaawa isnt it like a gnome fork or something ")

just spend 20 minutes asking a llm how to change icons or some shit if you are so hot and bothered by the looks of any of the above

WAT DO I NEED FOR A DE EXPERIENCE ON A WM ??
-way to set background photo
-browser
-image viewer
-pdf viewer
-gui file manager
-text editor of your choice ( if you even fuck around with code )

im not going to recommend you anything specific program wise because you wont like it just ask an llm for a gui version of all the things above
>>

installation process. when you install everything from the ground up and know exactly what you have and how it all works together you will not only have os tailored specifically for your needs but you will be able to somewhat competently maintain it and troubleshoot shit.

CachyOS isn't a meme distro, they have their own repo with compiler optimizations and their own custom kernel and schedulers
>>
>>109354850
if the compiler optimizations were anything real then they would be adopted by literally any other projects ever, if they have been then great !!

if the custom kernel had merit they would probably be changes that get merged into the kernel otherwise my guess is its memey gaming stuff

in an ecosystem where the best way usually kills the less good way ask yourself why only ONE distro is doing this and why it hasnt been adapted.
>>
>>109354901
They're not adopted because the boomer distros need to maintain compatibility with boomer hardware, based retard

What does that have to do with x86-64 compiler optimizations?
Holy fucking retard

>>
>>109355110
32 bit isn't boomer hardware, it's ancient hardware
If arch used v3 and v4 compiler optimizations, any 64 bit CPU that doesn't support AVX2 or AVX-512 wouldn't be compatible

You seem the kind of nigger that can't be bothered to understand that installing ANY third part system on any machine intended as OEM product will ALWAYS came with incompatibilities/issues you have to fix by yourself. If that's the case spare yourself the effort and, if you're so adamant in wanting linux, buy a fucking system76 or a tuxedo machine or stick to fucking windows. Conversely if you're ok with some potential minimal fiddling the closest approximation of justwerk in one go (because they just blow-load all the proprietary bloat from the get go) are either ZorinOS or Bazzite linux. There, given the job you can't get anything better than that.

No, the setup is the easy part. The hard part is running an update and then suddenly realize that something broke. Or even that the update itself refuses to work and then you have to manually remove another package so that the new package can install because they're mutually exclusive.

i just experienced my first KDE krash bros

>>109354350
I tried so hard to make KDE work. So many distros now default to it, Valve pumped a lot of money into it, they support more wayland protocols than Gnome and they have fewer retardations like "hurr durr no the application can't steal focus, here's a fucking notification you can click that puts the application in the foreground" (thank god for Grand Theft Focus). So I thought it HAD to be good.

But holy fucking shit, KDE SUCKS. The only reason anyone uses this is Windows baby duckism. It looks so fucking ugly, everything is broken, from subtly to unbearably and you get multiple "this and that program have stopped working, do you want to submit a bug report" notifications every day. The window manager kwin itself shat itself on every boot on a fresh Kubuntu install. What were they thinking?
It fucking sucks, it sucking fucks, it fucking blows, it's a piece of shit... and i don't like it.

But I want to be able to allow certain applications to steal focus if I trust them. Just put an "allow this app to take focus" checkbox to the notification or something, is it really that hard..?

I don't really get how everyone is constantly crashing on KDE. I'm not gonna say I've never encountered a bug or two, but it's nowhere near as bad as it is being described where it crashes every few minutes and you can't even use spectacle or anything.

arch being "hard" to install is such a fucking meme. only commands that aren't a blatant copy/paste from a guide are the ones to partition your storage, and that is braindead easy. i use cachyos because the default compiler optimizations are a no-brainer for better performance. using vanilla arch because you think people are impressed you set up some fstab entries is pathetic. install gentoo without using any precompiled binaries if you want to show off your e-peen, being proud to run arch for that reason aint it

OP, with all love and respect... after reading this thread, you should DEFINITELY stick to Linux, I don't care what kind of stuff you do... but you probably don't want Windows to log every fucking keystroke and monitor your screen.

It's just cringe plebbit stuff, so chill nigga. But you are a perfect candidate for Linux, trust me.
