I love how in Garuda linux, the same command as sudo apt update;sudo apt upgrade is just yay. Like "Yay, I'm upgrading my system!" Makes me happy when I run it even though it is a bit like pulling a slot machine lever for if it's going to break something in my system. My plasmashell environment only recently got fixed. It was crashing like crazy for about 2 weeks.

My current plan is to try, how you say...CachyOS?
Mainly, I want a clearer idea of what the "fork bases" are, so that when I inevitably run into some problems, I can google "How do I prevent window docking in Plasma" or "How do I prevent window docking in Arch". Not, "How do I prevent window docking in ObscureCachyFork875".
I think I've had several attempts on "simple" distros, and unfortunately I think the trend of trying to simplify things for me has just cut off customization options that irk me to no end.
CachyOS is Arch. It's close enough that any searching about how to modify it will be applicable. You can even install Arch and apply the same modifications that CachyOS has. My personal experience is that it just works. I moved from Bazzite, an immutable distro wasn't for me.

I currently try Bazzite, which is a gaming focused fedora-atomic spinoff. I think this is finally my distro to switch the desktop from windows.
So at work they want to switch all our servers from Debian to Ubuntu and now I read this? I'm so confused right now...
If you have pro enabled on an LTS version of Ubuntu, then you get live security updates, too include the kernel, as well as security updates for 10 years. Handy for developer workstations though. These people are whining and crying when desktop users rarely use the LTS version.
I'm not so sure about that when looking at stats
On Steam you can see Mint, which uses the LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 itself, the snapped version of steam (could be used anywhere, only Canonical has access to those stats)
And on the snaps I maintain I see this. The LTS releases seem to be used the most
Color me shocked snap steam users are on 24.04. 61 active devices. Very representative I'm sure.

Stuff like that is a major reason why I switched to Debian on my servers.
The abusive bullshit needs to stop.
