After Bazzite I went to Garuda, is also gaming focused and has a handy helper app that helps you install common software, run updates, and more.

If you need a new distro it's worth a look.

I go with CachyOs Ik ik the compiler optimizations only give a minor difference and maybe major in latency but am just comfy with it.
I just like how minimal is the distro

Cachyos has some great default setup choices too. Limine with btrfs + snapper, all preconfigured.. spot on!

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ohh yeah true I forgot they offer alterntive bootloaders that arent grub

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Grub was really the only option if you wanted a snapper rollback though.

But now Limine is the new choice for me.

Systemd-boot doesn’t play with snapper.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

True but systemd-boot also worked for me on opensuse?

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago

Interesting. I wonder if opensuse wrote up their own solution to this. I did find a post from Cachyos Petr last year responding that he’d like to see more how opensuse boatloader is managed.

I only ever used grub with tumbleweed.
