      Recently tried CachyOS on my HTPC. Couldn’t get Sunshine to run. It looked beautiful though and the docs seemed really in-depth. Endeavour (thanks to Arch, I know) is just so stable and fast. Just the right amount of pre-installed stuff like reflector, yay, the firewall-config app for firewalld with sane defaults, nice BTRFS subvolume layout, correct NVidia drivers. Would be nice to have Limine (for BTRFS snapshots) as an option besides SystemD boot and Grub in Calamares but I installed it in addition to SystemD boot. Gaming works tremendously good. Everything else too.

      I really can’t recall the last time an update went wrong. On both of my machines (one Intel, one AMD, both NVidia).

        You need to install CUDA first, if you have a Nvidia card. Limine is already an option when you install the os.

        Sunshine was pretty effortless on cachyos for me, did you install it using pacman?

          Yes AFAIK it is in the extra repo, which I’d always prefer to the AUR. Thing is, I tried Apollo beforehand, as I wanted clipboard support, which was probably only available in the AUR. Maybe that borked something with the install. I could install Sunshine though but Moonlight from my main Endeavor install couldn’t make any connection even with opening all the wanted ports in the firewall.

          Don’t want to diss CachyOS. They’re sure doing tremendous work for the gaming community and all the default themes for the different WMs and DEs look enticing. I’m sure this was a case of PEBKAC.
