They never said they were doing away with it. It's a feature literally no one asked for, it's insecure, it's invasive, a privacy nightmare any way you look at it.
And people who willingly use it will deserve all the shit that it is. And meanwhile, I'll be enjoying my privacy-respecting Linux operating system.
I am keeping Win 10 until I can't safely anymore then Linux may be my next stop. Been looking at CachyOS for gaming.
Why cachy?
IDK why they want to but to me the name seems pretty catchy
I also would love to know why cachy
Just some performance I've seen people get from it and the nvidia bits. Still need to research before I decide though.
Thing with cachy is that it doesnt do anything better than other distros when it comes to nvidia drivers, its entire focus is giving you like maybe 5% better performance at the cost of worse stability, so i really would not recommend it to new users.
I'd say use something like bazzite or pop_os! instead.
Feel free to dm me if you want help.
Thanks! My cousin used pop and was a fan tbf. I do like stability but also hoping, as I don't work on my personal PC, that some instability would revitalise my enjoyment of tinkering. I have become used to the comforts of stability as I've aged. Haven't really played with Linux since the Red Hat 7 days..! I used to use Unix back then for FORTRAN but yeah of late just forgotten everything.
How does using avx instructions reduce stability?
source? or did you mean arch is unstable?
Well, i just meant that all the changes cachy does (on top of being arch based) means it just isnt as stable as some other options
In this case, PopOS and Bazzite are also less stable because they add things on top of Ubuntu and Fedora
the main thing is that its arch-based
I'm guessing maybe the scheduler? Its the only real difference I see versus the other gaming distros.

Never heard about it. Couldn't find what makes it different from the others.
its whole deal is that they try and squeeze every ounce of performance out for gaming
My gaming Linux of choice right now is Garuda.
It's another contender for sure.
M$ is like a boyfriend - you tell him "No, don't touch me there!"
and an hour later his hands are wandering the same direction again..
An abusive boyfriend perhaps and you should definitely leave that relationship
