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 installed CachyOS on a VM ( Proxmox ) just to check out the OOTB experience and I am glad I did.

    In a lot of ways, it is similar to EOS as you say. That is a compliment as I really like EOS.

    The UX is a bit different though. Lots more blue than purple of course. On the command-line side the differences are bigger. It uses the fish shell with a jazzed up prompt ( reminded me of Garuda ). There are a tonne of aliases. They clearly like Rust as a few of the Rust core util alternatives are installed. They even alias ls to eza.

    Both yay and paru are installed at install which is awesome.

    The default file system was XFS. Btrfs and zfs were both options. No bcachefs at install but it is available after.
