        No, because they don’t deviate enough from arch to avoid issues with breakages on updates. Just recently on lemmy someone was wondering why all their vlc plugins were uninstalled. Easy fix for someone who knows how to use pacman, but that and similar incidents make cachyos not really a “just works” system.

        I’ve been using its handheld version for over a month on my Legion go and it’s great.

        But I installed it on my main PC wanting to go back to Arch and had to force a shutdown because my monitor is picky about being turned on after the PC and it fucked the OS. It needed to boot a live USB and introduce some command to fix it.

        First time I see something like that, although I have to admit that I’ve been daily driving Linux for only ~3 years.

    assuming that this is supposed to be for beginners it should just lead you through a rabbit hole of questions and then say that you should use mint

      MehhhH… KDE is such a prettier DE than Cinnamon, and more beginner friendly in my opinion.

        kde is very pretty and fun but there aren’t really beginner focused kde distros, I myself started on kde neon but that’s not really too polished and kubuntu is a bit meh

        i had doubts about mint but i tried it out and it REALLY handholds you well imo

        one thing kde does really well though is getting people interested in linux, because the customisation options are so exposed and user friendly

      Question 1 should be “Are you a beginner?” Answering Yes makes the answer Mint regardless of other answers.

      Edit: Answering No should allow other outcomes of course, but still allow Mint to be the result if it’s a good fit.
