Hey

Hi everyone,

Brand new to CachyOS, I come from Bazzite.

I've been using Linux for quite a while and on my main gaming machine I really liked Bazzite because I'm mainly looking for a console experience with a controller interface, but I also like the desktop mode when I'm on my PC.

The unique thing about my setup is that it's 100% virtual and remote; my machines are VMs under Proxmox, and for Bazzite I used my 3070 in passthrough and Sunshine to access my console from any device on the network.

It worked pretty well, but Sunshine often lost connection with my virtual screen (Dummy plug) and my 3070; randomly, the stream wouldn't restart unless I completely rebooted my VM.

Since Bazzite is also immutable, it wasn't ideal for me, as I modify things and also use Docker for my Jellyfin server. Given my fairly intensive use case, I think Bazzite wasn't right for me, and CachyOS seems better suited to my setup.

I've only had it for two days, and so far, I really like it!
