Yet, the majority of influencer videos about linux during that period praised only CachyOS, and I bet most of them reverted back to windows when they got enough of their Matrix roleplay with the terminal.
I’ve never understood the Cachy hype tbh. Nothing against it, but if you’re going for user friendly Arch, Manjaro seems easier and has been around longer. And why hype Arch in general? Arch is Arch, but hyping it for new users is just a mistake. For moderate to experienced users, if you want to use Arch there’s a specific reason, you don’t need to be convinced. Does everyone just like feeling badass for picking hard mode?
Unfortunately, yes, people love to despise others on artificial pretenses, missing the big picture which is the necessity to liberate as much people as possible from windows.
Manjaro is a good entry point, yes! Bazzite seems very cool as well!
Yeah, I do have to say that the Linux community has been improving though.
I tested Bazzite for a while, I liked it. I ultimately settled on Fedora KDE. I could see myself going back to Bazzite if I stop dual booting Windows for gaming and random programs. But…maybe by then I will have upgraded my GPU, and I’ll be going AMD if so, and there’s therefore less reason to go with Bazzite since I’ll have proper AMD drivers no matter what. I could also envision openSUSE Tumbleweed if I wanted to live more dangerously but not go with Arch-based.
Oooh I see. I made mine full AMD to go full linux. (And I admit I went for Manjaro 10 years ago and never went back. Also very tempted to go for Bazzite) I hope the nvidia drivers will get better for linux, I’ve heard they made some great progress lately!
Still, the CachyOS hype killed the Linux hype.
No it didn’t. Most new Linux users are still going with distros like Mint or Bazzite.

Proof? Because the majority of ones I saw recommended Mint consistently.
So no proof, just personal biases then.
