This is just a rant (or constructive feedback 
)
I really like the direction Cachy is going and the user experience can be improved from very, very good to fantastic with minimal modifications, hence this write-up
I moved from Manjaro a few days ago to Cachy with Plasma and GRUB on AMD desktop, and several issues are bugging me.
- Installer UI is horrible.
When booting from live ISO default theme is dark with tiny fonts, and partitioning screen is borderline unusable (small black font on dark background on critical choice screen? someone really decided that this is a good option?)
wiki contains a warning thatInstall alongsideandReplace partitionoptions are potentially problematic, but no such warning is presented by the installer.
Suggestion: give the choice of theme and at least font size if not full UI scaling; make any critical warning available in the installer UI - Installation takes much longer than several distros I tried recently with limited status information. It was stuck on “waiting for module…” for several minutes for some reason
- GRUB cfg - my system is multi-boot with Win10, several other distros and Cachy. Cachy installation killed all other GRUB entries (expected). os-prober found everything (expected). grub-mkconfig did not add Win10 (unexpected) with no clear message. the reason? GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false is commented out in
/etc/default/gruband I am curious why this is a reasonable choice, i.e. what is the benefit of commenting it out. - installer presents no choice on nvidia drivers or CPU make. chwd is not particularly useful to noobs, how do i determine which profile is actually in use? If I am running an AMD CPU with nvidia GPU why are intel CPU and AMD GPU profiles installed? If it is difficult or impossible to autodetect and disable unnecessary profiles give the user a screen to choose
There are other things bothering me but these are IMO important
