I first started using Manjaro after being on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives for years. Mint used to be my daily driver, then LMDE for a while. After struggling with Endeavour OS, through 2 or 3 breaking updates requiring a reinstall I made Manjaro with KDE Plasma my home for several years.
Manjaro was stable and, I thought blazing fast, compared to Mint. Everything just worked and was cutting edge. I thought my distro hopping days were over and I found the one that works for me.
Recently I’ve been reading about Cachy OS and decided to give it a whirl on my test Dell Latitude. Turns out that, I had no idea how fast and lean Linux could be on that off-lease business laptop! I know have it installed on my main Laptop and it’s leaps and bounds faster than Manjaro, has none of the bloat and just works! I know it’s early, but I think I have found a new home! I have timeshift set up just in case, so I’ll see how stable it is over the next few months, but so far I am impressed.
Highly recommend everyone who’s into Arch and rolling release to try it.
I’m on Cachy for a long time and I have to tell that it may be unstable at times (up to file system breakage). Be ready for that if you want to use it.
It the breakage happens, hopefully Timeshift will save me. That’s the best thing that I learned while running EndeavourOS.
