2 months agoI’ll definitely take that into account.
As an example though, I use the AUR for the arr packages. If not from the AUR, where else would I get them? Would I need to clone the git and build them myself instead?

Thank you for the very detailed explanation! Makes sense now. I was of the mindset that Manjaro is an Arch derivative making it technically Arch and didn’t really take the repos etc into account. Makes sense why they advise against the use of AUR
You’ve opened my eyes haha.
I appreciate the response, I always worry asking “noob” questions from all the elitist horror stories you hear around Linux
Sorry for my ignorance, Linux noob here, but what do you both mean by Manjaro isn’t Arch?
I may be misunderstanding here and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but I was of the understanding that Mint wasn’t a good gaming platform because of the fact it’s not bleeding edge

Thank you for the detailed explanation!
I see, that makes sense. Thank you!
Please don’t hurt me but what’s an “immutable” distro?
Thanks for the detailed response! I think CachyOS is the way to go for me. I like to be more hands on and have more flexibility
I’m also currently running Linux Mint but want to start gaming on Linux as well. Given what you’ve said it would seem that I need to consider distro hopping.
I have a “working” knowledge of Arch, I say working loosely as I have a home server running Manjaro and kinda maybe know what I’m doing with it and I’m comfortable following guides etc.
Which of the 2 distros you mentioned would you recommend? CachyOS looks great on the surface but Bazzite definitely seems to cater to gaming and it’s website heavily leans that way
How’s peripheral support these days?
For example I have a Logitech keyboard and mouse, G Hub doesn’t have Linux support so I’d be unable to use some functionality.
I know there is software for changing lighting but in my experience it’s not great. Lighting profiles didn’t stick between reboots for example. I also can’t do things like setup macros or bind keys to the G keys on my keyboard or mouse buttons.
