From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thoughts on CachyOS? (lemdro.id)

I've been seeing a lot of talk about CachyOS recently. Has anyone here tried it? It seems interesting and I might give it a go (currently on EndeavourOS) on a spare drive in my PC.

I am also an EOS fan but I just took one machine and added the Cachy repos to it. Like EOS, it looks like it mostly just uses the Arch repos although, unlike EOS, I guess they offer optimized versions of some packages.

So, the repo hierarchy I have now is EOS, then Cachy, then Arch.

The repo install added a new keyring and upgraded pacman itself.

After a pacman -Syu, all it did was update binutils, Python, neofetch, zstd, kwin, and Xorg-Xwayland.

Neofetch still reports EOS.

I have not installed the Cachy kernel yet or tried their Firefox fork.

It seems like a fairly painless addition. Time will tell.

That's a good way of trying other distros that are based on arch.
