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.

    I’ll be honest, the fact you went through so much length to try and prove your innocence makes me doubt it even further.
