I’d like to hear people’s journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

    Swapped to CachyOS

    Pros:

    • Super easy OS install
    • Good tool for installing steam
    • Most games play fine but knew this already from my steam deck

    Cons:

    • Struggled to find how to setup services like Jellfin, SABnzbd, etc. Not as simple as just installing them on windows, but not bad once I figured out how services work.
    • Heavily modded games like Total War Warhammer 3 were a pain since the modding tools are designed for Windows. Got them working, but stability was worse.
    • No Virtual Desktop for my Quest 3. I’ve heard I can get VR working on it, but only for games.
    • Getting write access on my existing NTFS drive was a pain. Read access worked, by I had to change ownership from root on all files to allow changes.
