For me, at least. Finally moved my desktop off Windows 10 and on to CachyOS. Things just… work. Finding applications to install via AUR is easy, gaming is great. The only thing I’m missing is Fusion360 but I didn’t use it too much to begin with. Happy to be Microsoft-free. Several friends have switched off of Windows as well which is great to see. I’ve really been enjoying Arch (btw) I have CachyOS on my laptop and also in a VM which is nice to have the same desktop experience on all my devices. Looking forward to the road ahead!
Glad you’ve enjoyed the switch. In late 2023 I saw the writing on the wall as well, what with Windows 10 ending support in late 2025, and I made the switch in early 2024. I thought for sure that 2026 would be the year of Linux as well, because why would anyone stick with Windows even when it was just forcing users to throw out computers without the right version of TPM, but also following with all the AI nonsense and recall and whatnot.
