I’m currently on PopOS 22 and I’m in the mood to try something different. I mostly game but I do need my system to have support for the everyday tasks I sometimes need to do, so I fell bazzite is a no go.
I see a lot of people recommending Cachy, will it be a smooth experience for someone used to linux? Is Endeavour a better choice? Will I have issued with my PS3 eye camera and x52 stick?
How comfortable are you using the terminal to install and update your apps? EndevourOS and (I think) CachyOS do not have a GUI software store to pick your apps from. You typically install software using pacman or yay. They are great options if you’re comfortable with it. But if you’re new to Linux or just want to stick with GUI tools, then I’d stay with PopOS or Bazzite or Linux Mint or something like that.
Daily driving EndeavourOS for over a year, game daily with no issues. Command line updating isn’t a big deal, just
sudo pacman -Syu && yay -SyuAlias it or use a terminal like quake that disappears. If you want yay to just do it’s packages use -Sua instead.
My PS5 controller worked out of the box.
