I’m going to switch to arch for my general-purpose laptop, since I feel like kubuntu is not enough for me, I want to try a tiling WM and do some ricing.
I’m still undecided between plain arch or CachyOS, because that optimisation looks promising and I also game on my laptop.
The fact is that CachyOS seems more “bloated” with some unnecessary packages, so what do you suggest me? A simple arch installation, arch using the cachy-linux kernel and its optimisations or a debloated CachyOS install? Thank you all in advance.
You can try Endeavour OS. Its pretty close to stock. I found cachyos was too bloated for my likings and ffmpeg ran faster on EOS than COS in my case.
Why would ffmpeg run faster on another distro?
ffmpeg will do CPU detection and use features like AVX2 if available even on vanilla distros.
