Fierro

My laptop needs reliability to be fairly certain I’ll have everything working when I use it on poor internet, my desktop is always comnected to high bandwidth and has a decent cpu so I can spare a bit extra time and cycles on updating everything when something breaks

Different needs

I did like having the same thing going on on both for the couple months I used mint on both.

I use linux exclusively on desktop, it’s got a lot of problems, many seem unique to the user, I hate that the way to discuss the problems for a lot of people is pretending they don’t exist, makes first contact more problematic for newcomers. Even before touching linux I’ve been hating that attitude with a passion from windows users, at least it’s not a problem exclusive to linux.

Night of the dead. Might be a bit jank but it’s pretty fun if you enjoy the game-loop.

I switched to mint for a few months to have the same thing I recommended my friend, I decided to switch again to something i consider bdtter for me.

There’s nothing wrong with mint, at most you’re missing a thing or two that are part of other base distros that you can add on your own, it’s preference, that’s all

Technically there can be some performance gains on a different distro but then you have to do tinkering and stuff. If I had to keep maining mint I wouldn’t mind at all (and some things are way easier and painless).

One thing: browsers have had some issues in every distro I tried other than cachyos, nothing major but a bit of frame drops here and there

I’ve seen a similar thesis in video form yesterday, I feel like in both cases the author forgot the fear they had before making the choice and think that sidestepping the solution to that part is no biggie.

But we’re talking about people who are afraid of a black box where you type text, they need as little friction as possible.

Hindsight is 20/20

• Obs uses more cpu in cachyos than linux mint, no idea why or what I can do about it, experienced the same difference between manjaro and mint (might be something to do with kde)
• audio breaks, when I boot I have to switch to output devices to fix it. No idea why
• sometimes it logs out of the desktop and when logging in it freezes

Having said all that I’m having the time of my life with cachyos, everything works great and better than it ever has in my experience running an nvidia GPU. I did do some tweaks of my own, wizh I didn’t have to but it’s not bad at all
