I tried it recently and had so many issues with it like apps not indexing in the “open with” file menu, and flatpak apps not interfacing with any system functionality.

    I tried CachyOS. Took three tries for the installer to install without bombing on an error. Third time I got it after changing file system type to ext4 and not using full disk encryption.

    Then I updated everything post-install. Black screen. No boot. AMD CPU and GPU.

    Installed Fedora KDE. Works perfectly. Haven’t looked back in three months since leaving Mint.

    I, too, don’t understand it. I’d rather install straight Arch. The archinstall works fine.

      I’m almost in awe at how unlucky you were. Out of hundreds of cachy installs on countless system. Iv never seen or heard of such problems.

        It’s weird how that happens sometimes. Back when endeavourOS was all the hype i tried installing it in a vm multiple times, and for some reason the installer would always fail. But everyone was singing it’s praises, so i’m assuming i just had bad luck and tried it at a bad time.
