Is CachyOS just Arch bundled with software suggested by Glorious Eggroll? Or is there more to it?

It's arch, but with optimised binaries, pre bundled apps, and pre configured gaming, performance and aesthetic configs for common apps and DEs

I really like it. It has become my favorite distro.

I'm seriously considering this for my hop away from windows. I think I'm drawn to Arch for the meme, KDE because that's what I prefer aesthetically.

Thanks for the response. So you use it?

[–] ada@friend.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

@lambda Yep, it's been my daily driver for close to two years now.

One more question and I'll quit bothering you. What made you decide on this one specifically?

[–] ada@friend.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

@lambda I had been using arch for a while, and didn't want to leave the rolling distro format, but I wanted to try something new. Initially, it was mostly their pre optimised repositories (and the fact they include some popular AUR packages in their optimised repos). But I also came to appreciate their reconfiguration of things like fish and snapper as really good starting points.

Glorious Egg roll makes Nobara, not Cachy

Oh yeah. Sorry. Got them mixed up for certain
