How hard would be for me to switch coming from catchyOS? And would it be worth it lol
Cachy is Arch based so unless you really want to customize your system its not worth switching IMO as you're likely already receiving the Arch benefits.
Something that I really like about Catchy is that it's been a really smooth experience so far. I wouldn't even know what to customize other than the DE, to be honest... so I'll keep running Catchy then :) As for the Arch benefits; I've always used Ubuntu and it is true that problably someone asked xyz so you'll find the answer on some forum but the archwiki is so good that it helps not only to fix sutff, but also to learn stuff lol. That's been for me the benefit. (That and also the pac-man-like animation when updatind the system lol). Thanks for the answer!
CatchyOS is based on Arch, so it shouldn't be too hard. I have never used CatchyOS so this is from the perspective of a Fedora user who used ArchInstall.
Arch is quite barebones in the sense it doesn't do GUIs for install and shit, it is terminal centric, that being said it is very fast and efficient and effectively you build your own set up (even in
archinstall). Here's what I will say though (idk how much you've looked into it or what your skill level is)...iwctlis how you connect to a wifi network. There's plenty of tutorials on this and there's the Wiki, so there's that. It's actually a piece of piss once you understand it.archinstallis your friend.desktopyou can choose whatever DE or WM you want. You won't get the full suite like with other distros, but you will get enough to operate your choice.waybarisn't installed automatically of if you are installing hyprland or such, bare that in mind. You will need this to access the nm-applet. Also you can fix the missing symbols in waybar by installingotf-font-awesomeeither before inAdditional Packagesor after withsudo pacman -S otf-font-awesomeflatpakif you can't find what you want via pacman, whatever VPN you use,steam, a browser (take your pick) andwaybarandotf-font-awesome.sudo pacman -Syuto look for updates and install them. There's no "Updates available" notification for system shit here.Oh I'm so saving this in case I want to try it out! Thanks for the detailed answer! I'll problably install Arch on an old laptop that's been laying around for too long and see how it goes :)
