Finally a distro has me tempted into considering moving from Arch which I’ve been using for almost a decade (kudos to the CachyOS devs on a job well done!).
But one of the things I love about Arch is that I choose what is and isn’t installed and after my spouse installed Cachy (also previously on Arch) I can see a number of apps come pre-installed (like Meld).
Is there a list somewhere of what CachyOS installs by default so that I can uninstall it post-install? Or is there a minimal install ISO somewhere that I’m missing that just installs the Cachy ‘tweaks’ and Cachy-specific apps (like Hello) + a DE?
I have considered converting my Arch install to Cachy but since this install is 3+ years old now, it would be more difficult to find and get rid of all the tweaks I’ve made here and there than just start a fresh CachyOS install and remove unwanted packages.
Do you guys think people affiliated with a distro make fake posts like this to drum up interest in their product?
That must have happened at least once on these forums, right?
It’s possible, but unless you can prove it, you’re just blindly casting aspersions. Appeal to possibility is a logical fallacy.
I’m sorry, “fake posts like this?” Do you think this post is fake? If so, why?
Not really. If it’s fake, it’s fake. Proof isn’t necessary for that to be the case.
Yes, because I wasn’t born yesterday.
Yes it is. Realness or fakeness is not a subjective matter of opinion.
Your personal incredulity is not valid justification. Either you have proof why you think it’s fake, or you’re making irrational claims.
Right. We’re not talking about ‘opinion’, we’re talking about ‘proof.’ Even if we can’t prove a post is fake, it still can be. If you need further explanation than this then I cannot help you.
I can tell you were born yesterday.
Gonna block you now, because I know you’re never going to stop replying to me. It’s how you people try to cover up shilling.
Goodbye.
Literally the definition of Appeal to Possibility. “It could be, therefore it is.”
Ow, my poor feelings. /s
Exactly what I’d expect from somebody who broadly claims a post is fake but can’t provide the receipts. Somebody calls you out, and you call them stupid, double down, and run, instead of engaging honestly.
That’s a very cynical take on things :( I’m not sure why the Cachy devs would want to do that when they could just post, “Hey, here’s our distro, come take a look or try it out”. This is a FOSS community and they’re a FOSS product that people make in their spare time, not some huge for-profit trying to squeeze as much out of folks as possible.
I would think a post of me gushing about how I switched to CachyOS after a decade of Arch and how much amazeballs super excellent wonderful blazing fast easy to use easy to install blah blah blah would be more of a red flag than me asking what specific extra packages are installed lol.
But I realise that since these times are so full of fake posts, here’s a pic or it didn’t happen: https://i.postimg.cc/DZsdcmwJ/Screenshot-20250122-101326.png
And yes I realise I could fake this too but there’s only so much time I can be bothered putting into proving that I’m asking a legit question and posting a screenshot is it. Take it or leave it. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ll be honest, the fact you went through so much length to try and prove your innocence makes me doubt it even further.
🤦🏻♀️
