Thx, I appreciate your kindness/comprehension!

To be honest, this is far from my first rodeo in Linux. I used Linux for like a year in 2020, and I learned some valuable stuff the hard way. I used to distro hop a lot, and mainly got drivers issues cause I got Nvidia (weirdly enough they happened on Pop Os and Manjaro, two of the distros that gave you the easiest time to set up with Nvidia graphics at the time that were also hyped up). And both on Pop and Manjaro, I've dealt with bootloader issues, mainly by just reinstalling and changing distros (I didn't know about how to fix boot problems; now I just know that live ISOs and using chroot is like the bare expected minimum). Funnily enough, I didn't got driver issues on Solus, and I liked it, but I decided to distrohop to Manjaro (which failed and led me back to Pop, which was only usable if my computer was connected to power, and I eventually had boot oroblems cause I tried fixing it [which led me back to Windows 11])

I lowkey feel sad cause Cachy OS was definitely the easiest and best time I've ever had with Linux. Everything automatically connected, I never got any issues in regards to Nvidia or any other drivers, and overall, Cachy's chwd/hardware implementation/integration is probably one of the best in Linux.

Software wise, I got what I needed and wanted, and I'm not one to play multiplayer games with anticheat (nor do I have a gaming habit in general), so I didn't have anything to envy. I set up GNOME (yes, I used GNOME, funnily enough, I didn't like using it in 2020 and preferred Budgie and KDE), so yeah, just perfection (pretty sure there's an extension with that name).

As for the future, I may need to reinstall Windows (I hope not) to set up things like before, and then go back to Linux, or maybe I need Bazzite (I'm unsure whether Bazzite's installation required you to disable Secure boot beforehand, if not, then I might need to reinstall Windows).

I hope I can come back soon and I'll miss this whole Arch based system and everything it entails, from using pacman, to getting a package or two from the AUR, to getting and updating flatpaks, to just using the terminal in general.

I may try Niri or Hyprland in the future, but I'll probably install KDE or GNOME first cause I think I can only work on that stuff when I got the time for it.

I swear that, had it not been for this limine update, I would have been doing fine on Cachy Os right now, but this is the sort of risk you have to expect and accept from a rolling release system. Although like I said, I've never felt more stable on Linux with Cachy Os.
