Frage an die Linux Gaming Pros:
Angenommen, ich wöllte mir ein gebrauchtes Notebook (HP, CPU: AMD, RAM: 8 GB) mit einer speziellen "Gaming-Distro" bestücken, welche würdet ihr bevorzugen?

Gerne in die Kommentare, aus welchem Grund / Gründen ihr dazu raten würdet.

A review of the CachyOS Linux Distro.

An arch based distro with optimizations geared towards performance.

It uses the BORE kernel scheduler, the packages are optimized for x86–64-v3, x86–64-v4, and the Zen4 instruction sets.

It has a great installer with a lot of choices, it defaults to BTRFS but offers all the common file systems.

Choices for Boot-loaders: Grub, reFind, System-D.

And (if I count right) 17 Desktop Environments to choose from.

How-To Geek · I Tried CachyOS, and Now It Might Be My New Main DistroAt first glance, CachyOS looks like another "Arch Linux but Easy" distro, but here's why I'm such a fan of it.
