That’s kinda where I’m at. Everyone says CatchyOS, CatchyOS, it’s smoother, stable, no issues. And I’m here on bazzite with all the same pros and cons list without seeing a different, I figured id try it myself since all the cons people seem to have on bazzite I haven’t had.
I’d say, don’t bother. For me, I was already on Arch, as I’ve been for years, so switching package repositories isn’t a big deal and I could just as easily switch back. So when I noticed some minor performance issues with Arkham Knight on base arch, I thought “why not”. There’s also the fact that Bazzite can’t work for me because of its immutable nature. If you’re happy with how things are going right now, I don’t think there’s a reason to switch. Of course, there’s always the “why not” factor for everyone :)
To clarify, I use cachyOS packages on arch. So, I can’t give a review of the distro itself. But the packages do work really well for gaming, especially their kernel and their proton variant. I use GNOME and force Proton to use Wayland and FSR4. So far, so good.
I might give catchyOS a try. I’ve been in bazzite for almost a year and haven’t had any issues.
But wait… If you haven’t had any issues, why bother trying something else?
