As the title and the website say, I’m currently making a distro with the goal that you don’t have to compromise between ease of use + safety and bleeding-edge + performance optimizations.
As I will likely be able to publish the 0.0.1 source code to the GitHub link and the ISO to the website sometime next week, I would like people to be aware of my project so I can have some feedback for further improvements when I release the first version. I have not posted this anywhere else yet, as I value the opinion of this community more than Reddit or whatever.
If you have any questions or any criticism, please voice it, I would love to hear it, good or bad, in the end I want to make a proper OS. (I’ll go to bed now so expect replies to take a few hours from posting.)
What will this new distro do that CachyOS doesn’t already (or can’t) do?
I’ll just mostly copy the comment above because it answers my intentions:
I have NEVER had less issues with an OS ever since running Arch and/or CachyOS, however issues COULD arise and that is enough for the usual Reddit dickhead to talk someone who’s asking for their first distro out of using anything Arch based. I’m tired of hearing these fucking “no you can’t recommend CachyOS, a new user should not touch Arch”, “CachyOS will break three times within your first week of using it”, “it has the AUR so you will contract HIV instantly by using it”, I just can’t hear it anymore which is why I want to provide people with an option that still has them on an Arch based distro but with added peace of mind and speed optimizations out of the box. You know, that’s the thing, I personally find Arch easy and intuitive and don’t get where people get the idea that it breaks all the time from, but that IS the perception however.
I think the main point is, that this new distribution is operating in an atomic form. Similar to how SteamOS or Bazzite works in regard that, but more general compute oriented like CashyOS and not a gaming distro. When I understand this correctly.
It’s pointless and stupid is what it is.
Please let people have fun with computers, thank you. This doesn’t sound like the 100th Arch reskin and doesn’t sound like “just a bunch of config files” either.
If you need to start a flamewar, please do it with that far-right LLM slopfest grift that is Omarchy.
Thank you for the comment! Omarchy is pretty much just a facists vibe-coded Hyprland rice shipped as a distro used for money-laundering while I try to provide something useful that bridges a gap between stability and performance. Scroll down to the disclaimer section, click on the link and see me struggling to make an ugly logo instead of asking an AI lmao
Love it!! You seem to have a similar stance on LLMs as I do. They’re useful if used correctly, but still destroying the world for nothing in 95% of cases, because most people using them are stupid and talentless.
