New laptop, new distro. In a few hours I went into four Cachy installations (checked different DE on my old and new laptop) so I decided to leave some feedback. First I want to thank and congratulate to the developers, I am really surprised by the performance and the look and the feel. However here some very minor quirks on the installation process:
-
In Cachy Hello, the “launch installer” button is not very responsive. It does nothing if one is offline, otherwise it takes some time to pop up. Now that’s undestandable, but I finished up everytime launching multiple instances of it on basically every installation.
-
In Cachy Hello, if one is disconnected the “launch installer” button does nothing. It should pop-up saying that an internet connection is required.
-
Once the installer is launched, GRUB is the rightmost and automatically selected bootloader. What I mean, is that if the user press Enter, Grub is selected as if it was the default choice. But systemd is the default choice, and this is not immediately noticeable.
-
I didn’t look much into this. It seems to me that one can choose the shortcut to switch the keyboard layout, but at the same time can choose only one keyboard layout.
-
I am not sure about this either. But the default packages for sway and hyprland contain quite a few x11 dependences. Maybe I am wrong about it, and didn’t look in detail nor I have an idea on the current wayland/X11 situation; just I would have expected to have some xorg libraries to be installed later according to dependencies of what the user installs.
In any case, it was a smooth experience and I absolutely love the distro. llama-cpp runs like it never did.
