Hi everyone, I am using Ubuntu since version 14.04 due to ROS and am therefore mostly familiar with its components, such as Apt, systemd, networking etc. nowadays ROS is mostly handled in docker so I have less reason to stick to Ubuntu. Cachyos sounds fun and I am a big proponent of performance being taken seriously in the sense of UX. Also default BTRFS seems nice. How much pain is it to switch? I tend to tinker a bit and appreciate the large community around Ubuntu. I know arch has a good wiki. This is for my personal main pc and usecases are Steam and Lutris gaming, office work and ROS / c++ coding
I started with Debian and am driving Catchy now. Catchy will pull you into the terminal more than Debian will, but you don’t sound like someone put off by that.
The good news is that pacman is easy to learn and Catchy’s default terminal app is superior.
For installing apps and updating, it’s recommended to use the graphical utilities in CachyOS. Sometimes you might need to use pacman but it’s not the default.
