Bazzite was too limiting for me and the layered updates made updating take forever. I was only using it on a media PC at the time too, so it wasn’t as if I had that many changes.
I’m perfectly happy with CachyOS. Can basically do whatever I want and snapshots are a nice safety net. Updates take like 2-5 minutes depending on how long it’s been since the last time I ran updates and the power of the system (Steamdeck always takes longer than my desktop or media PC).
Hey I mean, if Cachy works for you, that’s awesome!
I’ve not tried it yet myself, but I’m not gonna be like an insane hyper fan boy for Bazzite.
I will fully admit to just having had toooo many insane experiences trying to get Arch to do what I wanna do… kinda sucks to have to rely on the AUR for random dependencies for something like byilding a whole game engine from source.
But, my use case is not your use case, I’m geneuinely glad you’re happy with what works for you.
This is unironically why I switched over to Bazzite, and why I recommend it to newbies as well.
I will tinker too much and break things.
At least with Bazzite, if I thinker too much in a container, I just throw out the container and try again.
(And if you insist on fucking up the core OS, presuming at least some of it is still intact, you can rollback/reinstall fairly easily)
