Welcome to CachyOS Forum! šŸ‘‹

Hi everyone! I have dabbled a bit with different distributions in the past, but CachyOS is my longest running venture yet. 292 days and counting! Installed it with KDE Plasma, then installed Omarchy on top of CachyOS with Hyprland and now I’m running Sway. It’s my main rig which is mostly for gaming, music production and coding. It’s working a lot better than Windows (which is now uninstalled by the way). I couldn’t be happier!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick hello to the community. I’ve been a long-time Linux user, spending years on openSUSE as my main driving environment.

Recently, I decided to give CachyOS a spin, and man… I’m deeply impressed. The optimization, the responsiveness, and how smooth everything runs out of the box is just next level. The migration was a breeze, and I’m already feeling right at home here.

Kudos to the devs for such amazing work! Looking forward to hanging around the forums and learning more from you guys.

Cheers!

Hi, I am a Graphic designer, 49 yo, I am from Mexico City, Ive been a macOS user for quite sometime, but I started using an 8086 IBM computer on work, but my dad brought me an Atari 65XE back before and we used to copy the basic programs on the manual, but I did not continue on that line of work and went to arts and some advertising, I begun my graphic designer work on Corel Draw on Windows, so as you can imagine when I discovered the Macintosh I got hooked up, my first Mac was an iMac G3 Graphite .Lately I have been interested on Linux, my first approach was Ubuntu, were I try a few flavors on an old MacBook Pro 2011 but now that officially Apple has discontinued intel macs, and owning the last MacBook Pro with intel from 2019 that will not support Golden Gate, Im very serious about migrating m work to linux, how ever I havent found Affinity software on the opensource so Im trying the onces I find, If you can suggest some, will appreciate.

Thanks for reading and hope I can soon collaborate as I learn. For now I ll be posting some questions because I had some issues installing CatchyOS on the macBook Pro 2019 16.

Hi everyone!

I’m from Texas and a long-time Windows user (from 98 all the way to 11). Back in January I finally made the jump to Linux with Pop!_OS. I really liked it, but it felt a bit buggy, so a few weeks ago I decided to try CachyOS with KDE Plasma.

Man… what a difference. Zero bugs, zero headaches, and everything just works — especially gaming. My Linux knowledge is still pretty terrible, but I haven’t had a single issue.

The final push away from Windows was Starfield. I dropped around $1000 upgrading my hardware just to run it smoothly… only for a Windows update to tank it down to 6 fps in cities. That was the last straw. I swore I’d never go back, and so far I haven’t regretted it for a second.

Huge thanks to the CachyOS team — this is easily the best OS I’ve used since Windows XP (and honestly better in my opinion).

I originally came here because I saw a scary YouTube video about the AUR situation and panicked. After reading the forum and doing some checks, I’m relieved I wasn’t affected. Big thank you to the whole community for jumping in and helping everyone out. This forum is an awesome resource and I’m looking forward to learning from you all.

Thanks!

P.S. As I am sure you can tell I ran this whole post through AI, it is because I normally cuss like a sailor and type like a drunk redneck. Our future beneficent AI overlords felt this was a better introduction, making me seem more like a civilized human being and less a murder hobo. :clinking_beer_mugs: :laughing:
