I've noticed quite a few Fedora users complaining over the past week about experiencing choppy video and laggy webpages. It seems like graphic acceleration is broken for some people, and this issue appears to affect users across the board—AMD, Intel, and Nvidia alike.
What Linux Operating Systems do you like?
- Thread starter Retro6
- Start date
I've not checked Reddit or the Fedora forum yet to see if people are kicking off.
If you like a distro that is pre-setup for most tasks and has a curated tuned (and all working) set of applications as well as hand built kernels it has a lot to give.
It's not a gaming distro as such but has a lot tweaks (as well as tuned Proton versions) available/pre-installed.
Personally (as a lazy person), I think it's great.
Edit - Also as it is Arch (BTW
) based, it benefits directly from the Arch Wiki as well as having it's own.

Yep, used Cachy as my daily system for a couple of months and it was great. I didn't really find any noticeable performance improvement over my vanilla Arch install though so I'm back on that now.
YMMV though, of course.

Does Cachy use its own package libraries?
Besides coming pre configured with proton etc is there any reason to use it over Arch?
I use Arch on my main machine, having left it when I built this machine in 2017 due to at the time poor support for my choice of hardware, now having an AMD card I've popped it back on again! I'll be using it a lot more often once I can get out of the grip of Forza Horizon 5 within Game Pass! Will definitely get the next edition on Steam.
Yep, it has it's own repositories and also it's own recompiled/tweaked versions of things. I suppose the reasons to use it over default Arch is it's preconfigured nature. As mentioned above though, the difference in outright performance may be situational or dependant on what you are doing, but at least you know at default everything is setup correctly with far less faff.

What a mess!
Oh dear! Would be a shame to see Fedora move down the list of distros you could count on to run and test out newer and older hardware.
What a mess!
Fedora is my goto, it has a large install base which means things get tested more and they tend to keep the important toolchains regularly updated on very recent versions which is great for hardware compatibility. Don't much care about the DE or customising the look and feel and don't want to mess about too much, could happily use kde gnome sway cosmic etc. The main thing that makes a distro a distro is the package manager IMO, which Fedora does well.
