This is the beauty of Linux: you have choices based on your preferences, wants, and needs. I looked into CachyOS and it definitely has a nice installer interface, etc. But I've decided to just stick with the actual Arch Linux for now. I have my system all configured, and games are running great, so I don't want to have to reconfigure and re-install everything again. :) Plus, doing the manual install allowed me to get back into learning how Linux is set up from scratch, which I used to do way back in the 1990's when the SLS distro was released and it was pretty much and entire manual install process, along with having to compile the kernel, etc and at the time, kernel mods didn't exist. But I love to tinker, so that's why I have stuck with Arch Linux, along with having a rolling release rather than having to do major upgrades when an LTS expires as in other distros. No Manjaro, no Garuda (I loved it but wanted to get rid of the boat), but in the future, I might consider CachyOS if I need to reinstall for some reason.
Not starting anything, just more of a Noob question, but you can't adjust the page file size? I would think there is a way, since it's Linux, or is it a fedora kernel thing?
Hi Matt, Eirael Myrn is a master in Arch and as you, very helpful person. He have a lot of knowledge in Arch connecting with him will be very good. Good luck with making everything wok for you.
WOW!!! I used this before back when it first came out- and used it with EXT4 and my own settings-- out of habit- and had issues with it- glithces etc. so thought it needed time to mature. NOW- after my other distros conked out-- I installed this-- on default with BTRFS and let it set itself pretty much- and WOW-- it IS blazingly fast-- and the snapshots are INSTANT.. and easy to rollback to. I've had to rollback when an update to ONIONSHARE messed it up a bit- and it was instantly rolled back and PERFECT. I'm loving it now--- FASTER than I remember. LOVING IT!!! OH- and this is coming from a long time DEBIAN user that avoided arch like the plague-- so that says a LOT for it!!! OH_ and I use TILING on my NEW 6.1 KDE with krohnkite script and it works PERFECTLY!!!!
Installed another arch based OS yesterday to play around with and had a hard time getting themes and extensions to work properly, this video should help. Good stuff
The only dependency CachyOS is missing for Arc Menu is gnome-menus, and you need gnome-weather (and your location added in the Weather app) for Weather O'Clock to work, but the full gnome install almost certainly includes those. The Weather didn't support my location, but I found a script that let me search a location via command line, and that one found my location and added it as a manual location in gnome weather, so that sorted Weather O'Clock perfectly. Also, when installing WhiteSur-gtk, after -l, you can add --dest $HOME/.local/share/themes and it will put it in the proper XDG location so you don't have a .themes folder cluttering up your home when there's already a place for them under .local/share/themes. Great stuff here though. Someone was asking in a comment thread last night how to install CachyOS and I wish this video existed then to save me a bunch of time.
I enjoy Fedora a lot, but I'm considering another trip to CachyOS for my gaming PC. I run the Cachy kernel on Fedora, but this video has me thinking. I like the overall experience of Fedora, even the dumb stuff like the boot splash screen. But I'm with you on Fedora's decision about the pagefiles. I also think you can turn base Arch into a CachyOS-like system, too.
Funny, i just did the opposite. Been using CachyOS as daily driver (and it was great), but recently had issues on steam playing RE4 remake (it just crashes to desktop after loading screen). Tried to fix it, with no success... So, i'm using Bazzite, and i must say it's rock solid, RE4 remake runs smoothly and the system has amazing performance, very close if not equal to CachyOS. One of the top 3 gaming distro's currently and if you don't care about being immutable, it's great for daily driver too, because it's very very stable. Probably the most stable distro i've tried so far, and i tested dozens... Cheers!

I'm curious as to what the benefit of CachyOS is over vanilla Arch other than the user friendly installation. I always have a fear of these off branch distros eventually discontinuing, so I try to stick to the non-forked distros.
@@Sqwert-g6h cachyOS’ major selling point is got to be their custom kernel and their performance oriented approach towards vanilla arch. Their kernel improves performance by roughly 15-20%. I currently use fedora 40 KDE, but i use their kernel (available at fedora’s copr page (kinda like fedora’s aur)) and gaming with it has been great. I’d say give cachyOS a shot. it’s more than just arch with GUI installer.
How often do you reinstall that you have it down to muscle memory? That is weird. Is that typical of arch user to constantly needing to reinstall or something? I haven't touched mine in 2 years.I would not remember any of the setup I need to do if I would need to start over.
Hi Matt, do you not feel like you are wasting a bit of space by having the dock at bottom and then status bar at top? For example when you have browser open or viewing folders. Just something I didn't like when I tried Gnome few days ago.
@Mattscreative yea that makes sense. I'll try Dash to Panel and see how that goes. I've just done a fresh install few mins ago and my terminal is different. Which one are you using?
Moving from fedora based distro to arch (even tho i hate it). But someone in reddit is saying this distro is quite stable + great community. And they mentioned you as well, so maybe I'll give it a try. I hate arch btw
Oh you're brave using bcachefs :D I'm using zfs, and I'm very happy with the performance and the ability to turn off syncs on writes in a (for the filesystem) safe manner. But I have a long history using ZFS under Linux, so it was a no brainer. Let us know how bcachefs turns out for you. :)
@@Mattscreative I mean I just don't see an advantage for using fedora. The AUR is just so much better than custom repos. It's an open system for each package, instead of a compilation of packages and it's just building instruction which you can easily review instead of having to trust a repo shipping your binaries you can't check.
To be fair, it’s not about you these are my experiences and my reasons its what most of my videos are about and if you learn Fedora enough, you know you don’t need the AUR
@@Mattscreative I was curious about your experiences, as I got a friend which is big in the fedora community here in Germany. And I never saw the point 🤷♂️ I mean he maintains a couple of packages for fedora he needs, and I'm maintaining a couple of AUR packages. But I never saw a point of switching. I would miss *so* many packages in the standard repo of Fedora, so I would have to maintain a lot of packages and that's just not worth it for me. I guess that's what you meant by "you don't need the AUR", right?
Hey Matt, I did follow some of the tutorial since I never used gnome/wayland before. I lost the option for 144 from my screen, do you know if some extensions installation may have trigger that? Other than that great tutorial, I go things looking awesome in no time compared to years of bad looking KDE DE xDD

Hello, I currently run a two OS computer. My 250GB SSD is running Arch Linux. That is my main OS.

Not trying to be a downer, but it's always one or the other issue that keeps most Linux users distro-hopping. Due to a KDE 6.1 Keyboard issue where many layouts have been deleted from KDE I am currently dual booting with Linux Mint x11. It's the only one that works for me now.. for now.
Is there a reason why you choose GNOME over KDE? I've been using CatchyOS for a few days with x11 and the fps are incredible but 60 fps feels like 30, I ended up switching to KDE Wayland and I lost some performance but everything runs very smooth
I use gnome wayland and it’s more stable then kde by alot see kde has a ton of bugs I noticed and can’t unsee and the settings menu is a cluster fuck of trash design I can’t stand
I would like so much to try it, but the live USB never start for me and I don't know what is the problem. I disabled CSM, TMP and SecureBoot but to no effect. Any suggestions?
I am new to linux and you make great content but really fast. I would love a more in depth guide or video. Because I don't know what it all means. Yes I can Google and I am doing that but would love more in depth explanation from you. Thought I ask. Thanks for the video.
The gaming meta handles everything arch needs to do gaming and adds steam and lutris it may add heroic game laucher also not sure about that but if you want a crazy indepth i have a 2 part video on making vanilla arch like cachyos from scratch!
I left fedora 40 because I was getting weird wine crashes every boot up and brave and chrome also crashes often which is weird cause I didn't have this problem in fedora 39 and arch isn't for me so I went with kubuntu 24.04 installed liquorix kernel and mesa kisak ppa installed wayland and everything works good.
i have tried to get Cachyos working for months now, i can install Garuda, Endevour, fedora, Bazzite, Nobara, etc. but CachuOS will not boot after first install, i have tried all the boot options over the months, it is so frustrating.
New to linux, I had trouble also, too long to type, but Just-in-case this works for you. Disable secure boot in bios. Don't un-select KDE-Desktop, which was done in the YT I initially followed (a1rm4x has good recent vids). Somehow he had a wallpaper/log-in, I didn't. Thought it would have a basic default one at minimum.

Why a dock and a panel? Why not one panel with everything you use pinned on it? Downside with extensions on Gnome after a new version of Gnome some extensions don't work anymore. Not Gnome's fault I know, but still.
I already tested all my extensions with gnome 47 all but one works and extensions now tend to update in beta of gnome versions and the only reason they don’t work day 1 is due to standards by the people who publish them and those devs wanting the extensions to meet a certain criteria first. Also i am used to a dock and panel and it helps my work flow

I've been using CatchyOS for a few days with x11 and the fps are incredible but 60 fps feels like 30, I ended up switching to KDE Wayland and I lost some performance but everything runs very smooth
I use gnome wayland and it’s more stable then kde by alot see kde has a ton of bugs I noticed and can’t unsee and the settings menu is a cluster fuck of trash design I can’t stand
@@Mattscreative - You sound eloquent in the video, but your lack of grammar in all your comments makes you come across as unintelligent.
I would like so much to try it, but the live USB never start for me and I don't know what is the problem. I disabled CSM, TMP and SecureBoot but to no effect. Any suggestions?
Head to the cachyos discord
I am new to linux and you make great content but really fast. I would love a more in depth guide or video. Because I don't know what it all means. Yes I can Google and I am doing that but would love more in depth explanation from you. Thought I ask. Thanks for the video.
Oh and not talking about the gnome extensions. Talking about the gaming meta and such
The gaming meta handles everything arch needs to do gaming and adds steam and lutris it may add heroic game laucher also not sure about that but if you want a crazy indepth i have a 2 part video on making vanilla arch like cachyos from scratch!
new on linux, can you explain something abt security on CachyOS, SeLinux for example? thanks
I left fedora 40 because I was getting weird wine crashes every boot up and brave and chrome also crashes often which is weird cause I didn't have this problem in fedora 39 and arch isn't for me so I went with kubuntu 24.04 installed liquorix kernel and mesa kisak ppa installed wayland and everything works good.
Odd choice but to me it sounds like those outdated distros will get these issues when they update as well so it won’t last long
Told ya Fedora is great but god damn Arch is more robust.
Not really read the pinned comment
i have tried to get Cachyos working for months now, i can install Garuda, Endevour,
fedora, Bazzite, Nobara, etc. but CachuOS will not boot after first install, i have tried all the boot options over the months, it is so frustrating.
I had that issue also
@@Mattscreative What did you do to fix it?
New to linux, I had trouble also, too long to type, but Just-in-case this works for you.
Disable secure boot in bios. Don't un-select KDE-Desktop, which was done in the YT I initially followed (a1rm4x has good recent vids). Somehow he had a wallpaper/log-in, I didn't.
Thought it would have a basic default one at minimum.
@@Lana_Warwick I got it to install and boot once, then i screwed something up so tried to reinstall, 12 tries later i gave up and i am on garuda for now, i might try again this weekend but its so incredibly frustrating when all the other distros, and i mean all of them so far install fine..
Why a dock and a panel? Why not one panel with everything you use pinned on it? Downside with extensions on Gnome after a new version of Gnome some extensions don't work anymore. Not Gnome's fault I know, but still.
I already tested all my extensions with gnome 47 all but one works and extensions now tend to update in beta of gnome versions and the only reason they don’t work day 1 is due to standards by the people who publish them and those devs wanting the extensions to meet a certain criteria first. Also i am used to a dock and panel and it helps my work flow
Nobara 40 just released today Matt, will you be doing a video on it?
Already have a video on nobara 40
You actually put the OS to shame by how easily you fix issues.
Nah
Can you do a installation video on Jellyfin and Plex? Every video I find out there is super over complicated and complex.
I could attempt too
Ngl if i want arch linux i would build it my self
I used to do that but I always ended up building cachyos like distro anyway
@@Mattscreative alr
Man what is the version of canchy os used here?
Gnome version plus my extension
CachyOS is the best !
Indeed
Can you make a serie of video of how to install content creator software on arch ? New to arch and struggle to install some software like davinci, etc...
I have alot of that done already but for all linux
@@Mattscreative Yeah i follow all those tutorial but its the same for Arch ? Thx again to reply this Quick man 😄
Well ya hence me saying for all linux
what do you think about Arch
Arch has always been my love and had my heart
How do i fix Fedora freezing on the load screen
This is not a a fedora video this is not a Support video either head to the nobara discord and see if they can help in the fedora channel
Have you tried Arch?
This is arch and ive used arch for about 15 years now
why is fish bad?? I find it very convenient and easy to read
Too clunky and bossy
before actually seeing the video: I just installed fedora kde 40 haha
Your all good i doubt you will have shadps4
Everytime i try to install i get a pac manager or pacman issue
sudo pacman -Sy
You completely removed windows and installed linux??
Also can we play valorant in linux
@@PiotrPogorzelski then can we install GeForce experience and use it
@@Rahul-ce9yz what do you want GeForce experience for? You can install drivers for Nvidia if that's what you need it for, and steam now has game recording that works like shadow play if that's what you want. Hope to be of help
why would someone be worried about if they can play that piece of shit or not?
@@thomrl in GeForce we can customise the filter of the game
How does gnome preform on cachy?
great
why not arch directly instead of this?
Because is built for me and my needs out of the box
@@Mattscreative you had to install a bunch of stuff so not so out of the box
I followed all the steps but yay command it doesn't work, thanks in advance
sudo pacman -S yay
@@Mattscreative thanks man
So I can play ps4 games in this OS? Please teach me how!!!
I quite like cachyos
Same
Artix built from scratch and remove sysd. CatchyOS mmm it ain't sysd free. Yo have a lot to learn 🙂
Thank God I want systemd lol time before systemd for the reap Linux users sucked so badly. You got a lot to learn
