    Windows forced me to upgrade to 11 so I went for cachyos instead and I’m blown away by how great it is.

      It’s great - but, to be fair, if you hated updates and restarts in Windows, you are not going to like cachyos :)

        It’s the forced upgrade, boatware, and lack of lack of privacy that drove me to swap. I blindly picked hyprland as my DE because the preview looked cool without knowing what a tiling DE was, It took me 3 days but I finally got it configured and everything is so snappy and fast. I’m never looking back

        Huh? They’re a thousand times better in Cachy. Why wouldn’t anyone like them if they hated windows updates?

        Don’t really notice.

        Just sudo yay -Syu whenever something doesn’t work anymore. 3-4 mins of unnoticeable background updating later, done. It’s not even a thing.

        I was blown away by how much faster BG3 loads. The last time I had used Linux was when I was in college in 2008 and I kept running into incompatibility issues and after a while i swapped back to windows. I was half expecting a battle when I installed cachy but everything worked right out of the box (ignoring the fact that I picked hyprland without knowing wtf I was doing)
