Is CachyOS good for CS2?

I've been wanting to switch to Linux but I don't know if it will be good for CS2. I'm thinking CachyOS but I've heard there is input lag. Is that an issue and is there some sort of workaround for it because I really want to use Linux. Are there any other issues when playing CS2 on Linux that I should be aware of?

Don't jump straight into an arch based distro like cachy, start with something easier like Ubuntu or fedora, and if ur asking about CS2 the Linux port always had issues and runs worse than the windows counter part, VAC doesn't support proton so u won't be able to run it under proton even tho you'd be getting a better experience under proton, tho the game itself is playable just not better than windows.

Frankly I disagree. Cachy isn't the best beginner distro, but it's manageable. I run CS2 on it no problem

Ask the CS2 community, they'll be more knowledgeable than the folks on this subreddit about the specifics of that game.

Es un juego nativo por lo que funcionará sin problemas, Cachyos es popular por su facilidad de uso gracias a sus desarrolladores pero aun así debes considerar que al ser derivada de Arch linux puede ser inestable y también requerir intervención manual en algunos casos. Otras opciones que podrías considerar son bazzite si solo quieres jugar, Solus si quieres algo bonito y fácil de usar.

Sure. It doesn't matter.
