My 1st experience with CachyOS

I’m trying for the 1st time an Arch-based distro, and I’m quite happy.

Using btrfs is easier than with Ubuntu.
It has created automacically all the subvolumes.

I have an old Brother printer. The manufacturer only provides .rpm and .deb packages.

With AUR, it has been easy to setup the printer, even easier than with Ubuntu.

Installing speeds of packages are amazing.

I like being able to choose boot manager.

I have always received a useful answer in the forum.

I’m quite surprised that in comparison with Ubuntu and other distros all the software I use can be installed with pacu, using recent versions, insteaof of downloading something:

  • anydesk
  • google chrome
  • opera
  • ColorThis
  • dotool
  • globalprotect-openconnect
  • quodlibet
  • k9s
  • kubectl
  • kustomize

This is very confortable.
Hibernate + resuming works well.
Plasma has the hibernate button active by default.

Happy to hear that you feel at home using an Arch based distro! It’s such a great base for a distribution and an amazing distribution itself! CachyOS is not half bad either! :grin:
