I moved to Cachy (Arch-based OS) in 2024, and it’s been perfect for me. I’ve used Linux since around 2012, and tried to move to it as a daily driver several times over the 2010s, but I wasn’t able to stick with it due to drivers/software compatibility. Cachy is the first time it really clicked, and offered everything I wanted without needing to dual-boot.
People always talk about how complicated Arch is, but learning it was almost completely frictionless. It stays out of the way when I want it to, and I can go down a tinkering rabbit hole whenever I want. I can update stuff three times a day, or forget about updates for several weeks and just run the command whenever it springs to mind. I found it way easier to pick up than Ubuntu too due to the Arch wiki.
