What Linux Operating Systems do you like?

After a year or so on cachyos I spent a while moving to hyprland which I now absolutely love. Its very different but now I miss it when using work macbook.
I also spent some time setting up snapper(btrfs snapshots) and limine bootloader so I can very easily rollback from the boot menu if needed.

I've just installed Hyprland to try it out. Did you start from scratch or use a template to start with?

I really enjoy tinkering and setting things up how I like them so I'm looking forward to that but I'm tempted to start with a template to get me up and running.

I did start with https://mylinuxforwork.github.io/dotfiles/ but didnt like it. Gone for a much simpler setup and when I find something missing I just google how to add it and do it.
 
Well I can’t give up on Linux now I’ve tasted it. Installed CachyOS tonight and it seems to be working ok. The Fish shell is great!
 
Talking about CachyOS; their Wiki has much improved over time, so that combined with the normal Arch wiki is great for support. Well worth a read through.
 
I admit I have previously got into a pickle with updating CachyOS due to clashes between packages available from Arch and those in the CachyOS repository. I lost patience with it and re-installed to resolve. Something to be aware of I guess.
 
I think the trick is to be very careful with your use of the AUR and also of updating around the time over major updates.

The "new"* CachyOS updater hints you should be reading/checking the Arch release blog, which I don't think was made clear enough before.

* it's Arch-Updater ;)

Edit - I'm still banging the PikaOS drum for anyone that will listen, the more I use it the more I like the way things are done.

Oh yea, I'm pretty sure it was something that I did wrong rather than an issue with the OS itself. These things can be difficult to resolve though.

It's why I use Timeshift and other backup routines.

Great choice. CachyOS is great.

Yea I really like the Fish shell too.

I can't say CachyOS is ready for the mainstream either. If you can't plug a well known blue-tooth speaker in without it diverting the Audio to input and then being unchangeable it's useless.
Never mind stuff crashing/locking up.
