Hi!

First, I’d like to apologize for asking the age-old question yet again.

I’m running Bazzite right now with a 50-series nvidia, and have no real complaints. I did manage to bork up coolercontrol pretty nicely, though, and am going to use it as an excuse to try another distro (and update my m.2 while I’m at it).

My knowledge level is not terrible, but I prefer spending more time gaming than tweaking.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

    CachyOS!

    • Arch Nvidia drivers are always new, but not too new.

    • Nvidia support is from upstream arch, so no middleman screwing that up. Though it conveniently includes precompiled kernel modules for all the custom kernels so you don’t need to mess with dkms.

    • Easy scheduler switching! I highly recommend scx_cosmos

    • Natively compiled packages for Zen4+, and mostly native AVX for other CPUs.

    • Git proton right in the packages, no need to break shit going out to the AUR or messing with system packages.

    And that’s just what I know. Every time I dig into some preconfigured thing, I’m pleasantly surprised it’s that way and I don’t have to mess with it, while at the same time it doesn’t diverge from Arch for the sake of it and break stuff like Manjaro.

    I switched at least 3 years ago (can’t even remember now), and haven’t switched since. I haven’t even wiped the paritition, it just keeps working with little fuss…
