I switched to Cachy 2 months ago and I think my distro hopping days are over. It's so, so responsive and reliable. People scared me off arch-based distros for being bleeding edge but so far it's been very stable, I haven't encountered any major issues.

If you're thinking about switching, do it. Switched off from Bazzite and I'm not looking back.

Any experience with laptop battery life on Cachy?

[–] popcar2@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Battery life is really good, on par with Windows on my current laptop. For some reason battery life was really bad on Bazzite, like 30% worse or so. I don't know how it compares to other distros.

That’s what I’m finding. I was on Pop-os for a while and battery life was amazing. I started hopping again and found a real drop on Debian, Elementary, and now Ubuntu.

If you don’t mind my asking, what are your main use cases? Mine are mainly browser-based and documents.

When I'm on battery I mainly use the browser. When I'm plugged in it's usually gaming.
