Man, this distro really blew up. I remember around 2 years ago hearing about it for the first time, and then was like “oh maaaaan, not another arch/endeavourOS/Garuda/manjaro”. Anyway, it’s been my main distro for around 2 years now and I’m never going anywhere. lol
I did run it for a couple of year in the past. It was solid.
Their security updates are some of the best you could find, my friend. They are only “slow” on features. Debian doesn’t fuck around when it comes to security.
Gaming and getting the latest kernel is a big one for me. My gpu and cpu are very new and they require the latest kernels. I’m sure there are ways to bring in the newest kernel to Debian, or just use Sid or testing, but why do that and what I have works no problem?
I’ve invested so much time and effort into CachyOS. I’ve been running it for over 2 years now. A switch would be very hard and unnecessary work for me since it works no issues for me. Otherwise, Debian would be on my machine.
Amazing for a server. Both my servers run Debian and I have had no issues.
It’s a choice. You either want to make your pizza from scratch or have it delivered. I prefer mine delivered so I can kick my feet up on the couch, watch TV, and start eating right away. I don’t have time to gather all the ingredients and do all the cooking, you know?
