Are the CachyOS devs on here? Any of them? (lemmy.world)

Hi all, I just installed this distro as a part of my experiments to find a good daily driver distro. It's been flying (I'm not used to speed like this. lmfao). Just curious to know if the devs are on Lemmy or are they only on reddit?

Thanks

I JUST installed it today after Nobara made my life hell on earth. I just set it up and have been busy reviving the windows bootloader all day, so I haven't really had much to do on cachy yet. All I know is it is the fastest distro I've ever seen in my entire life. Everything is extremely fucking fast, and I mean everything. Moving 70 GB from the sata drive to the nvme? No problem, 40 seconds. Installing a ton of shit through terminal that normally takes 10 - 15 minutes on other distros? Nooooo problem, that'll be 1 minute a 40 seconds. Reboot your machine? Absolutely, a jiffy. Holy shit, the speed is insane on this thing. That's the only thing I know so far. I will use it for a while and make a post here to report after spending some time with it.

Awesome, sounds promising!

FYI my curiosity got the better of me and I tried installing it. So far so good--it's definitely faster than my previous Mint install (still using LightDM and Cinnamon, so a pretty good apples-to-apples comparison) and a lot more things worked out of the box compared to when I tried Manjaro a year or two ago. Looks like this might be where I stay for quite a while.

Nice. Check out their cachy suit of apps. They're nice. One of them (I forgot the name already) is used to tweak the kernel and change governors. There is a game mode, low latency and others. Man, I'm actually getting much higher FPS without even enabling frame gen. Did some tweaks recommended by another commenter here and it's freaking insane how fast this distro is
