If I wasn’t so intent on going to Nix, I’d give Gentoo a try. Currently an Arch user due to laziness and AUR, but the AUR is not as consistent an experience as memory serves so if it doesn’t fulfill laziness I might as well move on.
And I subjected a first time user to Debian 13 lol
I'm currently using NixOS and I constantly switch back to CachyOS every now and again. By far the best Arch based distros and one of the best overall distros available.
Maybe I should do some researching but what do you like about Cachy over plain Arch? That it’s gaming optimized?
