I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.
If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.
Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.
Please don’t kill me. How does this fare against a riced out Gentoo?
I tried it on my old pc and pretty good ngl.
Has a custom kernel and bunch of preconfigured options to run games I could not setup myself.
Has a bunch of riced DE options including openbox, wayfire, sway, etc. And the rice are good.
Has its own wiki and documentation.
Using paru instead of yay initially put me off, but then I found latter is written in go and paru is written in rust :3
My current issue is KDE setup still uses a lot of ram, but by a lot I mean 2 gb while browsing web and steam open.
Overall a very, very good gentop setup would be better, but mainly because custom rice is more personal.
