I’m currently on PopOS 22 and I’m in the mood to try something different. I mostly game but I do need my system to have support for the everyday tasks I sometimes need to do, so I fell bazzite is a no go.
I see a lot of people recommending Cachy, will it be a smooth experience for someone used to linux? Is Endeavour a better choice? Will I have issued with my PS3 eye camera and x52 stick?
Yeah, I got my vm up and running to try it out. Because i’m on xfce I don’t even have that by default. For a second I thought I was crazy though lol.
They could install octopi or that one other alternative for a pacman gui, same as cachy has preinstalled. It’s fairly barebones though.
CachyOS has cachy-update which is still a terminal window for updates but has a tray config and will be there to let you know when stuff changes. I don’t remember where I saw it though, the updater tray wasn’t default.
eos-update seems similar on the surface and they have eos-update-notifier for a tray update notifier. After installing the thing though it’s anything but the same. It’s very user-unfriendly compared to cachy-update. I shouldn’t have to dig for a man page to configure an application with a gui presence (tray icon) imo but i’m being nitpicky.
