What I find cool about Cachy

What I find cool about CachyOS based on my observations over the past few months is that there’s a practical purpose behind the distro which drives a prioritization of coordination.

CachyOS is not a distro that focuses on quantity of options without quality (performance oriented) of the options - so the boast isn’t about how many packages are available in the repositories, but that the packages work well together and are being optimized for interaction and the larger goal of having a performant system.

The forum community here has been great too with @cscs and @HardCode4All – I see them in so many topics helping people out and answering questions.

The only thing I got wrong: I hugely underestimated how long it would take to get my head around the ‘Linux way of doing things’. Yeah, that takes a minute.

As long as you’re using btrfs with Snapper (presumably installed automatically with pacman hook), everything’s fine. This ensures you can easily boot an older system state if something goes wrong during the system update.

‘sudo snapper [–help | list | delete | create]’ is your friend.

Thanks, but I’m up to speed now. I spent the first couple of weeks playing with things until I broke them, so I’m now quite familiar with Limine and snapshots. I could not be more impressed with this OS.

Even after several weeks, it still makes me chuckle how sharp / quick everything is compared to that thing Microslop calls an OS.
