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.

Forget performance, im more worried about compatibility and having the right drivers, cachyos seems to take care of a lot of that grabbing programs, dependencies I wouldn't think to grab being new to linux, seems to save me from a lot of researching, i could be wrong and the implication they are giving could be throwing me off, endeavor would be the alternative I go for. I dont like ubuntus proprietary format.

Ubuntu‘s proprietary format? How would that even impact your intended use? Don’t get dragged into all the silly flame wars around purity of FOSS and such.

Linux distributions are more similar than different. The distribution you use matters less than online discussions by enthusiasts make you believe. Many of these ricers and tinkerers think it’s fun to fix snd troubleshoot their system all the time.

Choosing a distribution with a large user base, stability, reliability, and good support is more important than a shiny feature.

Many of the small distributions don’t support upgrading to new releases of the same distribution for example. You have to reinstall instead.
