It's just a lot less work. It comes out of the installer pretty much how I want it, and indeed goes further with useful customisation than I ever would with Arch. I especially like the limine/snapper integration, although nothing has broken yet. I've mainly used Debian over the years.audiojunkie wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 2:57 pm Those who are on CachyOS, what do you like about it that is different from Arch?

I really believe the Immutable/atomic (Cloud Native) next generation of Linux Operating systems is the future. I use Fedora Silverblue, myself. But I hear a lot of good from CachyOS too.lokio wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 10:15 pmIt's just a lot less work.

Interesting! How do you like OpenRC? I’ve always just used systemd.

It's a bit of a hassle to get it in place but it's running smoothly, and it isn't slopware.audiojunkie wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2026 12:38 pmInteresting! How do you like OpenRC? I’ve always just used systemd.
Haven't figured out how to install proprietary nvidia drivers as the packages assume systemd in place, but I'll find a way around I guess.

That's cool. I understand the reasons why somone would dislike systemd--it breaks the "do one thing and do it well" modular rule of Linux. That said, I'm doing fine with it. It's always nice, however, to know that alternatives exist. So I'm happy that projects like OpenRC exist.farlukar wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2026 1:38 pmIt's a bit of a hassle to get it in place but it's running smoothly, and it isn't slopware.audiojunkie wrote: Tue Jul 07, 2026 12:38 pmInteresting!

Systemd also has the Do Not Want sign on github

Well, even the Linux kernel allows AI created contributions. But it is on the head of the developer that submits them if the patches aren't "up to snuff". I'm less worried about the contributions, and more worried that the developer who submits them keeps a close eye on things to maintain the patch quality. That's essentially AI assisted development (which most developers do nowadays), rather than Vibe coding.
