Cachy is great for newbies. There’s no tweaking required, at least not more than mint. The AUR has all your weird niche programs you had on windows that apt and flatpak don’t have. It just works out of the box.
So you say, but, the installer…Man that thing doesn’t want to work with my system (even with secure boot off). It was the one that had the most failures with not creating a boot record, failing to install the Linux kernel, or the NVIDIA drivers. Other distros have vert polished and sleek installer experiences. CachyOS, in my personal experience I don’t find it to be a good one. On paper, it is (I did a lot of reading to figure out how to get CachyOS installed).
Yeah, well there is a first time for everything! I am the person that any arch installer fails for, EndeavourOS was probably the most infuriating failure…As it wouldn’t automatically set-up my drives and told me to do it manually. I try that and GPT keeps changing my allotted GBs to every partition, it’s a thing for me to find every problem.

That’s unfortunate. I have gotten 3 of my non-Linux friends to install it and everything “just worked”, I hadn’t heard of any issues like that before.
