what distro should i use? is cachyos the best for me? (read body)
i currently use CachyOS and i would say its quite good
1: speed/performance in gaming is probably the most important to me, if it performs better than cachyos im taking it
2: for the installation, i dont really care how hard it is to do, i know how to follow tutorials and guides (unless its something close to lfs difficulty, gentoo difficulty is the furthest i will go)
3: something else that's important is simplicity after installation. the most complicated i will do is an arch linux level, i dont want to use the terminal for everything
4: ive been using linux since november last year but i still am kind of a beginner. i know some terminal commands and what almost everything is but i will need to go to the internet for everything. i could not troubleshoot something myself at all
5: i use a laptop with an intel i5 with integrated graphics if that changes anything
