Is it worth nuking my PopOS to try CachyOS?
I like the stability of Ubuntu and a lot of projects usually have deb files officially, like Signal. However, my start up time on Pop is oddly long and have Bluetooth issues (which is fine as I dont use it very often).
I was on Bazzite for a bit. It was fine but the immutability was a bit annoying for me when editing files. Then on Nobara which was also fine but plasma crashed on me several times which caused me to repair it each time in order for it to work again.
No. It may be worth to try on the side for fun or science though.
Sounds good. Thanks for the input.
@NinjaTurtle @otter I've been using CachyOS with Plasma for a few months and only one time experienced major instability. Switched to an earlier snapshot and then waited a couple more days to update again, no other problems since.
