Is my hardware too old for CatchyOS? (lemmy.world)

I was curious about CatchyOS, but I understand it's really intended for the latest and greatest hardware. One of the few distros that not friendly to older tech. I only have an older machine to test:

B450 Aorus M

Ryzen 7 5700

GTX 1660 Ti

32GB DD4

Would it be worth testing Catchy on this machine, or is my hardware too old to play?

I once tried running Cachy on a first-gen i7 from 2009. It seemed to run fine, though obviously couldn't take advantage of the newer instruction sets.

Best bet is to try running from a live USB. If it boots, you'll be able to check its compatibility with all your components.
