Yeah I really enjoyed Cachy but the model of using the AUR to install third party applications just seems broken. I don't want to have to trust some random install script maintainer in addition to the 3p app developer. And sadly I don't have the time and attention to spare to review the AUR scripts of apps every time I update.
I switched to Kubuntu to keep KDE (which I really found I enjoyed from Cachy) while using a more stable and familiar ubuntu base. It's not one of the "gaming" distros but I haven't noticed any major drawbacks with the games I play.
- Bender 3mo agoI have not needed AUR support for games. The only time I was tempted to install an AUR package was on my laptop for Zoom chat. My gaming machine will never see any of those packages.
- docsaintly 3mo agoI also just moved from Linux Mint to Cachy and haven't had to use a single AUR package (yet). I use some relatively obscure programs too.
- officeplant 3mo agoCachyOS does pull some packages from the AUR into the CachyOS repo, but they state that they go through a validation process first.
- Caboose8685 3mo agoTo clarify, the packages in the CachyOS repo from the AUR are manually reviewed by a team member before inclusion and updates.
