    As an arch user this is a terrible suggestion. CachyOS is a distro for enthusiasts who are ok with dealing with the Arch way of doing things. This is a distro that no beginner should be using unless they are prepared to learn how to use the terminal and learn how Linux works. Anyone else is likely to be scared away because it is “too difficult”.

    OP is right, just use Mint.

      I never denied Mint. definitely recommend it too. Although for gaming I had a lot of issues. I am definitelt not an expert by any means, so I would also put my hat in to say cachyos with kde plasma as the desktop environment is pretty beginner friendly. I understand the arch way is difficult, but in my ignorant (as I dont know linux terminal talk too well) perspective, i think kde plasma on cachyos is a good option to look into at the least. ‘A terrible suggestion’ feels a slight stretch. It isn’t too complicated, im saying this as a beginner

      If you can use a program like Octopi I think Cachy is just as friendly as any distro. Certainly moreso than any debian derivative.

      And its bleeding edge enough to make a great gaming OS
