Was looking into Nobara, realized its a solo dev, wondering if cachy is the best pick for compatibility. I play a lot of different stuff , use blender, controllers, flightsticks, etc. Not really into flightsims rnow and im dualbooting for now so its not a major issue on that front. Just want most steam games and controllers, drivers, etc. to work and get the best performance.

Update: Went with Cachyos for now, but first sign of any issues and I'll switch to bazzite since it seems to be safer and more reliable. Havent had any issues so far.

What didn't you like about cachy? I like it rnow, curious why you switched, are you gaming primarily?

Cachy is just another distro for power users / enthusiasts. For people that want to tweak everything. Universal Blue spins are made for people that want their PCs to work for the user, not the other way around. They are unbrickable. Arch is a rolling distro, and thus it requires more maintenance than any other distro. If the user doesn't want to learn everything there is to know about a Linux system, Arch based distros aren't a good fit.

Well whats the point of swapping to linux if not to learn random shit, I get good performance on windows I mostly just want a lot of customization over my UI and any performance boost is a bonus, if it breaks I always have my windows partition, don't think I'll ever fully commit, I like having the windows option at most ill shrink the windows ssd down to like 256gb-500gb but always have it there just in case I need something that just works (with software meant for it). I want the most custom visuals and app stores for plugins, widgets, themes, etc. whatever desktop environment and distro has the most support for that. It seems like they all pretty much support the same stuff tho.

I want to tweak visuals but idrc about tweaking internal settings.
