Hi all, I just installed this distro as a part of my experiments to find a good daily driver distro. It’s been flying (I’m not used to speed like this. lmfao). Just curious to know if the devs are on Lemmy or are they only on reddit?

Thanks

    How is it for you so far? I just learned about CachyOS not long ago and I’m curious about its viability as a daily driver.

        i set the p-states for the cpu to decide and the power for the kernel to decide, BORE just crushed anything i used before, using the vkd3d, dxvk from the repo (and using the install scripts that comes with them), and wine-cachyos and proton-cachyos.

        Using lzo for btrfs with autodefrag (instead of zstd, which is the default compression) and lz4 for zram

        Could you expand on all of this? Like whatever Chinese you just spoke(lol), can I do it on my AMD CPU and c-state? I have all AMD on my main desktop (which is where this is installed) and I want to squeeze all the performance I can out of it since my GPU isn’t one of those powerful ones (RX6600)

      I JUST installed it today after Nobara made my life hell on earth. I just set it up and have been busy reviving the windows bootloader all day, so I haven’t really had much to do on cachy yet. All I know is it is the fastest distro I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Everything is extremely fucking fast, and I mean everything. Moving 70 GB from the sata drive to the nvme? No problem, 40 seconds. Installing a ton of shit through terminal that normally takes 10 - 15 minutes on other distros? Nooooo problem, that’ll be 1 minute a 40 seconds. Reboot your machine? Absolutely, a jiffy. Holy shit, the speed is insane on this thing. That’s the only thing I know so far. I will use it for a while and make a post here to report after spending some time with it.

        FYI my curiosity got the better of me and I tried installing it. So far so good–it’s definitely faster than my previous Mint install (still using LightDM and Cinnamon, so a pretty good apples-to-apples comparison) and a lot more things worked out of the box compared to when I tried Manjaro a year or two ago. Looks like this might be where I stay for quite a while.

          Nice. Check out their cachy suit of apps. They’re nice. One of them (I forgot the name already) is used to tweak the kernel and change governors. There is a game mode, low latency and others. Man, I’m actually getting much higher FPS without even enabling frame gen. Did some tweaks recommended by another commenter here and it’s freaking insane how fast this distro is
