i've just installed cachy, yesterday. been working fine so far. I can even double click to install .exe files, but.. it didn't handle installing battle.net that well, so... i had to do it manually, but that worked fine.

So far no issues. Fast, and easy. even more customizable out of the box, than windows.

if you haven't tried it, i highly recommend you give it a go. it's free.

I've been using CachyOS for a few months now and it's mostly been great, and so so much better than Windows.

I should probably just try to run .exe installers more. That might solve some of the challenges I've had with the transition, particularly since getting devices working correctly in my Windows virtual machine while still keeping full functionality in Linux has been challenging (webcam, sound, microphone, mouse4/5 and dpi buttons).

Docker has solved my biggest other challenges, for apps that have a Docker image anyway. They just work.
