CachyOS has been absolutely fantastic for me. As a quick example: I just installed Minecraft Java edition with the Prism Launcher. It's in the CachyOS repo, so it was 1 step to install Prism Launcher. Even easier than Windows—I didn't even need to search for a download page. Come to think of it, I'll also get automatic updates whenever I do a 1-step full system upgrade, so it's going to be 0 maintenance.

The year of Linux has arrived. I used to make fun of all the Linux evangelists, but they're right this time. Linux offers a better experience than Windows, for most common use cases.

I'm easily in the phase where I'm dropping $20+ on games without even thinking to look what their status is on ProtonDB. Windows is still around for some back-compat stuff and old projects I'm finishing, but I'm good where I am.

That said, on Cachy, does anyone have recommendations for a Calendar app that works with MS? I've tried a few, and a number of them don't work on Cachy.

What's MS? MicroSoft?

If so, I just use Chromium for my "work" browser with M365 web apps for most things, and only spin up my Windows 11 VM when I need to do heavier OneDrive or Excel tasks.

I’ve considered that, but webapps aren’t great for notifications. Even when they support them, they don’t always run persistently.

I recently switched from Windows to Linux and decided on Linux Mint and I've had no problems so far, has pop!_os a lot of benefits over Mint for gaming? But I'm also not exclusively using my Pc for gaming, which is why I chose a disto that seems to be more versatile(?) idk still very new to Linux

Mint was the other option I was going to go with. I didn't do a ton of deep diving, I tried pop first, it worked great, I didn't look further.

They're all pretty much the same. If you find a distribution that works with your hardware, it will perform the same as the next one.
The few differences will matter (or not) once you're experienced with the system.

In short, don't worry about it.
