Arch Linux 2024

[Zema Bus]

I've had CatchyOS installed on my main machine for two months now, and I've found that I'm spending more time in it than in vanilla Arch. I only have MATE and Cosmic DE's installed (mostly using MATE at this time). I like Plasma, which is what I have in vanilla Arch, but I also like the simplicity of these smaller DE's while still looking good, and while still having full functionality. And not a single crash in MATE, which is a lot more than I can say about Plasma.

You know I agree. Simplicity is what I like. I even use XFCE more like a window manager than a DE, I don't build the shit I don't like (e.g. Thunar... that bites the weenie) or its atrocious power manager.

Plasma is more of a "demo" to me than something I'd use for doing work or playing games. "Oooh, look how nice".

Have you been playing games in CachyOS?

Not yet but I plan to install it on my game machine soon. I could also get Steam etc going here on my main machine though my game machine has a stronger video card.
