For me, at least. Finally moved my desktop off Windows 10 and on to CachyOS. Things just… work. Finding applications to install via AUR is easy, gaming is great. The only thing I’m missing is Fusion360 but I didn’t use it too much to begin with. Happy to be Microsoft-free. Several friends have switched off of Windows as well which is great to see. I’ve really been enjoying Arch (btw) I have CachyOS on my laptop and also in a VM which is nice to have the same desktop experience on all my devices. Looking forward to the road ahead!

    Congratz on liberating your computer and yourself.

    Just a little advice on using the AUR: It is an user driven repository of software, meaning anyone can upload stuff to it. Usually you are adviced to read the AUR script before installing it (most don’t, especially newcomers). So you should be very careful and only install from trusted AUR scripts. Maybe install from Flatpak instead from AUR if you can, but that depends on many factors.
