Unfortunately for a long time they were the best arm distro for my pinebook pro. Though they can't even support that anymore. I'm looking for a better option again.

I realize it's a bit of a dead horse to say this at this point, but if you like any of the arch spinoffs, I would definitely recommend giving arch a shot if you can get through the install process. It was a fun learning experience for me, and I used it as a daily driver for years with no big issues. And it's even easier these days than it used to be!

Install process is mad easy these days. Connect with ethernet if available, type archinstall and navigate through a few choices and its over.

The last time I tried archinstall it 404'd on some Gnome component and the script just died. Probably user error on my part for even trying to try Gnome.

I did install Cachy recently and it's been very smooth.

I'm sure they've resolved it by now though. Just thought the error handling could have been improved

That's amazing. I haven't done an install since archinstall was a thing. I enjoyed learning the entire process myself, but I know that's not for everyone, and it's nice to know they've employed a simplified version. Very cool!

Unfortunately though. There aren't very many easy arm distros that are Arch based. I have done the traditional Arch install on x86 systems though. Gentoo as well. They are definitely good learning experiences. But honestly even as a techie person. For my money. I'm not going to waste time doing that every time I end up reinstalling or installing.
