    I finally switched from Windows to Linux and chose CachyOS. This was months ago. I never had to fix anything (so far). There was a fuck up by me once, but that wasn’t the distros and could’ve happened on any distro. Honestly couldn’t be happier with it being arch based, as it’s really nice to basically get anything that is released instantly as a package update.

    I haven’t had to hunt for packages that aren’t years old for anything as I was used to on Debian (used on most of my servers). And while the AUR is there, I think I got a total of two things installed from there, anything else was just there in the repos.

    But if you’ve got a setup that already works, and you’re happy with, why change anything? Having something that works for you is what makes the large amounts of choices in the Linux world so great.

      I love every package being on the aur or flathub, its so convenient compared to the windows way of discovering and installing software.

        I did swap to bazaar as the appstore, its on aur, works very well, the search actually works, like if i search fps, all the fps games show up, doesn’t work anywhere else for me. And the background downloads, plus download progress manager you could view is nice, bothered me it wasn’t a thing. Would love something like bazaar for the aur, but that’d prob be a chore to mantain compared to flathub that already has icons and images.
