I tried multiple distros over the last year to find a good one to recommend to someone I know. My experience with mint was a mediocre startup followed by mediocre use for a few days, followed by a boot failure. Very disappointing from a distro I frequently hear recommended as a newbie-friendly option.
yeah when I first switched to Linux everyone suggested Mint to me, like they always do, so I tried that. It was miserable, didn’t work well with my Nvidia GPU, and almost made me go back to Windows. then someone suggested CachyOS to me and I’m glad they did.
CachyOS is the best Linux experience I’ve ever had. I used to use Mint too but it had problems with my new hardware. I was hesitant because people always say Arch distros are hard to learn but what I don’t see mentioned is how much better they actually run. I’ve had zero problems so far, and that’s more than I can say for Windows 11 lol.
When you’re done with CachyOS I recommend OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - just as someone recommended me once after I was done with CachyOS :)
OpenSUSE TW gang rise up. I also got this black screen issue OP talked about but snapper rollback solved that (for now).
I’m gonna wait a bit to update then, sounds like that might be wise
Oh I’ve been done with Cachy for awhile, I switched to NixOS. I just like having everything there in front of me plus using comma to run stuff without installing it is awesome.
You probably know this, but you can even run the CachyOS kernel on NixOS. Currently doing exactly that
yup, haven’t gotten around to it but I’ve been meaning to. How’s it working out for you? I might end up doing that today.
No issues here, but I haven’t benchmarked anything and any improvement could be placebo. It’s trivial with flakes
