🚀 CachyOS is a performance-optimized Arch Linux distribution with CPU-specific package builds, advanced kernel scheduling, and an effortless installation — delivering measurable speed gains without sacrificing simplicity.
Yeah my way of using linux is just not suitable for immutable systems. While it is good for most people, and while I love the philosophy of having immutable systems, I ended up using rpmtree constantly for the most simple things. And honestly, the only thing missing for it to be a very usable working OS is something like Homebrew.
So yes. It made me mad. I’d rather have a bit more freedom in my terminal emulator.
Its still weird to me how tribal some in the linux community are, when the whole reason there is such a range of distros is to provide options so people can run their own computers however they want.
Like, I hate gnome, but if other people like it then its great that it exists etc
It is weird, but also nice to see. We need the simple minded people. We need those that just want to have a working OS so that they can play a game or edit a document.
That’s the beauty and curse of Linux. It will eventually make some people angry, because open source projects will come and go. Bazzite might be maintained now, but maybe not tomorrow. And the simple minded people don’t want to switch to something different. So I really hope the popularity is motivating current and future maintainers to make their userbase happy, even if I am not part of that one.
Worth noting: “simple people” is in no way meant as a derogatory term, I honestly even envy them.
I had this problem the first time using it, but once I learned about how to use homebrew with it (included by default now, by the way!) and distrobox with universal installer, I got a lot more comfortable with it!
Yeah I tried all that. While homebrew is awesome for macos, for linux you are missing a lot of packages. I used distrobox, too. The amount of extra steps needed to just have a binary running is just not justifiable for my type of work. While I was able to do everything with Bazzite, I felt super inefficient and slow.

I agree fully, same experience.
