Hmm, so CachyOS then...

Got the Live USB working, had a look around. Some thoughts:

​:ms_small_blue_diamond:​ There's a limit to what a Live USB can tell you.
They're great for folks coming from another OS: you get a preview of what you're moving to. But for a more advanced user you kind of know all that anyway (unless you're trying a new Desktop Environment [DE]). Cachy shares a lot of the same packages Garuda does.

For the performance improvement I want to see, I think they'll only manifest on 'bare metal', when fully, properly installed to the system. i noticed the graphics were not as slick...though I'm only now thinking I didn't check the monitor refresh rate, probably set to 60Mhz instead of my familiar 144Mhz.

Some of the software I was expecting to see based on research, like Octopi, wasn't there. I'm assuming the Live Environment is only meant to be a cut-down version of the main install...but when I tried Garuda all those moons ago it had everything. It doesn't make much difference, just means I'll have a longer period of adjusting as I slowly build my software library preferences back up.

​:ms_small_blue_diamond:​ Niggly Issues
It didn't see my SSD. I could access the 2nd storage drive but not the main system drive. Not sure why not or what that means.

I think this means I'm going to prepare by cloning the drive to the new backup rather than simply copying ./<me>/Home to it, so if I need to I can completely revert back to the dual setup.

Gonna take a bit more time thinking things through, make sure I'm comfy to move ahead.

In limbo a bit with my Linux plans. Turns out I've cough misplaced all of my useful USB drives. #SomewhereSafe. The only one I can find is 2Gb and I need 8Gb for CachyOS's Live USB. I've got a new one coming today with the new backup SSD. Sadly, it's not shaped like a penguin. I did look.

Funnily enough, the 2Gb USB has a Live Install of Antergos Linux on it. That was my previous (failed) attempt to move to Linux back in...I want to say 2016-18-ish? But in that case the team making Antergos broke up and the project died, which was an awful loss because it was one of the most advanced and user-friendly distros of the era. I used the abandoned corpse for a while longer but when that broke my heart broke with it and I slunk dejectedly back to Windows. A community-run project arose from the ashes and became EndeavourOS, which you may have heard of. When choosing Garuda I did look at Endeavour but they take a minimalist, bare-bones approach (though still more than Arch itself) whereas Garuda had muscles, skin, hair, tattoos...

CachyOS happenings should kick off tonight around tea time [GMT](#GMTeaTime)

kitty.socialGlowing Cat of the Nuclear Wastelands (@deathkitten@firetribe.org)@Uraael@kitty.social Speaking of live boot usbs, you're not cool enough to have a *penguin* usb drive, are you? (📎2) RE: @deathkitten@firetribe.org Thank you. :blobsmilehappyeyes: Hehe, sounds like you "forgot" maybe a little subconsciously there. I'm already doing research to give myself the best chance, but saving my data/cloning the drive then totally wiping it for a fresh start seems to be the simplest way forwards. Gonna give Cachy a trial run first, if I can LiveBoot it from a USB (assuming I can find my USBs...) RE: ...

Just made the decision to move away from Garuda Linux!

1: Removing a Philosophical Thorn In My Side
Garuda runs beautifully and looks fantastic but the team behind it are, generally speaking, not what I'd call "beginner friendly". I'm seeking friendlier shores. Hopefully, that's CachyOS.
2: Magpie-ing Towards Greater Performance
CachyOS is getting a lot of praise and attention right now for its specially-optimised Kernel and software which delivers (anecdotally) the fastest Arch experience available, and Arch is already quick compared to some other flavours of Linux. I'm never not one to turn down a free performance upgrade! Exciting!
3: Finally Banishing the Beast
I'm a fibber, for convenience. I tell people I've moved to Linux and ditched Windows. The first is true: the second is only half true; Windows still exists on my drive. I've not logged into it in over a year (cross my heart), and the Grub bootloader in this dual-boot system defaults to Linux, but it's still there taking up valuable space on my drive - a full Terabyte - that could be used more profitably. It's time to reclaim that space and become full Linux for keeps.
4: Backups, Backups, Backups
In order to help me do all this I've bought a new backup hard drive that covers my current SSD capacity. I already have a backup drive but it's only 500Gb (like my last SSD was) and is currently serving as a home for some other data anyway. Having a backup of your full system is something everyone should be doing, especially if you're as fiddle-friendly as I am. The threat of accidentally breaking something and losing everything is real. Snapper system snapshots are fantastic but still that extra layer of comfortable security would be appreciated.

Not often you get to hit four birds with one stone...😁 Updates as they happen! ​:celeste_hearts_arch:​

Frage an die Linux Gaming Pros:
Angenommen, ich wöllte mir ein gebrauchtes Notebook (HP, CPU: AMD, RAM: 8 GB) mit einer speziellen "Gaming-Distro" bestücken, welche würdet ihr bevorzugen?

Gerne in die Kommentare, aus welchem Grund / Gründen ihr dazu raten würdet.
