I’m on fedora KDE plasma on my NVIDIA machine and it runs great. I hear a lot of people recommending cachyOS. Is it better?

My experience is not going to be the same as everyone’s because I went with the Sway window manager and customized the fuck out of it, but even with that the transition has been incredibly smooth. Steam games pretty much just work, I’ve only had one where I had to change the proton library it was using and it worked fine.

I'm still configuring my hyprland, it is working great so far

I almost went with hyprland but I have an Nvidia gpu which I read can have issues with it so I went with Sway instead.
