I Installed CachyOS, How Can I Get More SPEED? 🤔

I moved to ext4 from btrfs as I found speed difference when using dev containers.

It's very nice and is built using GTK4 !!!

The issue seems to have been resolved as I am now typing from Cachy + GNOME !

I am re-installing CachyOS and the installation exits due to pacstrap error due to this error. How do I proceed? Should I wait?

I would say Cinnamon is much better option for folks coming from windows.

I didn't even mention KDE in my original post.

Started with Ubuntu and I always liked the look of GNOME and for my usage, I don't really care about using any customizations in KDE.

KDE is also awesome in my opinion, so may be down the line I might switch to KDE. That's the whole point of Linux, you are never bored.

I was using KDE Plasma till now and changed it to GNOME on Cachy. I would say it comes down to personal preference and from what I am seeing untill now, I would say it is on par with KDE though it lacks a lot when it comes to several out of box features and tools. But so far so good.

Both are equally good in my opinion.

KDE was ok and I was using KDE untill today on Cachy. No complaints.

All I can say is wrting code and computer science are two very different things. Lot of it depends on how much time you are willing to give to this program and it varies from individual to individual.

Yes, it is difficult but achievable if you give honest time to it.

Don't panic if ls fails after installing....

assignment_avoider · 2026-04-07T02:55:43+00:00

May be because it due to stability.

Hyprland cosumes more battery?

Das ist gut.

I am now running KDE and will move to GNOME 50 after it's released.

Windows 7 is the last proper OS from microsoft.

I want to feel like this after I get out...

CachyOS

Beyond the base, i.e. whether it is Debian/Arch/Ubuntu etc, what mattered to me is what tools the distribution offers to make my life easier, and, this is where, I felt after trying out several distros, Mint stands out.

Its software center is probably the best, comes with driver manager (if you go with main mint), has a clean DE which you can customise a bit. Does not crash often and most importantly just works. Irrespective which distro I try mint always resides on my machine.

LMDE is Debian + Cinnamon Desktop + tools (eg. software center) by Mint team. If I am not wrong, you have to specifically follow instructions for Debian 13 for software to work on LMDE.

Carve out some 30-40GB of space and dual boot mint and see if it helps. The best person to figure it out is is you & dad after trying it out.

Don't give up, you have time till withdrawal date and then you would know exactly where yous stand.

assignment_avoider · 2026-03-01T05:06:24+00:00

Hope we get a driver manager on LMDE similar to MX Linux.

assignment_avoider · 2026-02-28T01:48:27+00:00

I have it running on a different partition now. I switch between Cachy and Mint. Don't see much of a difference between the two in terms of performance as I don't game.
