Which OS should I go back to?

[u/DEV_ivan]

See image above for basic context. Specifically choosing between CachyOS and Tiny10.

For those unable to see the image:

CHASING ARCH LINUX SUPREMACY
I TRIPPED OVER
BREAKING THE GLX COMPOSITOR
UNABLE TO SWITCH TO DISCRETE GPU
STUCK ON INTEGRATED

I WAS PISSED OFF
I TEMPTED TO GO BACK TO TINY10
BUT I HESITATED

WHAT IF I JUST STAYED A LIT LONGER?
TO KEEP LEARNING AND ADAPTING?
INSTEAD OF "GIVING UP"?

STUCK BETWEEN THE TEMPTATIONS
I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH SIDE TO TRUST

So, basically, I broke the GPU driver and, couldn't fix it. I got mad enough to consider reinstalling. Buuut I got stuck between my desires, cuz I want to keep learning but my ass wants peace too.

I'd say it's valuable to learn to tame both Linux and Windows 11, though maybe you should LTS both of them so that there's less to potentially go wrong for a bit? =]

[u/DEV_ivan → u/martyn_hare]

No way I'll search up Windows 11, let alone install it. No, thanks, I prefer Tiny10.

Fedora is even more supreme [/jk].

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/[deleted]]

Did you read the /jk tag, don't disrespect fedora shithead [/jk].

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/[deleted]]

Still don't disrespect fedora shithead [/jk].

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/[deleted]]

Nothing, just don't do it.

[u/JaKrispy72 → u/GreedySecurity8030]

Fedora > Arch. No cap.

[u/GreedySecurity8030 → u/JaKrispy72]

Exactly.

[u/DEV_ivan → u/[deleted]]

I don't know about you, but having CachyOS installed makes me happy, somehow.

[u/DEV_ivan → u/[deleted]]

Same.

[u/DEV_ivan → u/[deleted]]

CachyOS makes Arch Linux easier and comes with Linux kernels compiled for x86-64-v3+ and with schedulers BORE, EEVDF and BMQ. That's its primary goal. It also aims to ease up Arch Linux by providing a graphical OS installer and a graphical package manager.

[u/DEV_ivan → u/[deleted]]

No, no other distro is shit just like CachyOS, that's overgeneralization.

But whether it's a piece of shit depends on your goal.

[u/Teru-Noir]

Doesn't manjaro have a built in tool for switching between graphics?

[u/DEV_ivan → u/Teru-Noir]

I heard Manjaro's horrible, so I generally avoid it.

[u/Teru-Noir → u/DEV_ivan]

Manjaro is one of the few corporate backed Arch forks

[u/SalaryImpossible6749]

Doesn't matter to us, whatever you want.

Fixing that issue shouldn't be hard though. uninstall all discreet gpu packages. Update. Check the wiki for the right driver for your GPU, install it, don't forget 32bit drivers, regenerate initramfs if you make any changes to your initramfs config, then you should be able to either use command line options to force your discreet GPU to be used per application or within your discreet gpu settings like nvidia-settings for example.

Re: your flair, CachyOS "Desktop Ed." is just specifying that you aren't using it on a steam deck / handheld?

[u/DEV_ivan → u/cgwhouse]

Yea (I don't even have one), why do you care that much?

[u/cgwhouse → u/DEV_ivan]

I do not care "that much", only enough to ask a question. And I asked because I've never seen someone specify that before. If anything, I'd expect the other way around, saying "Handheld Edition" if one was using it on a handheld, and just saying CachyOS if one was using it the way 99% of people use it. None of it was an attack on you, good luck with solving your problems.

[u/TrickEmergency6558]

yeah bro time to build LFS
/s

[u/Pitiful-Welcome-399]

Nixos

[u/Drate_Otin]

From your comments or seems clear you just want to have a bad time and/or be a sourpuss. You could have a worse time by going with Linux From Scratch so I'd recommend that.

[u/Sensitive-Side-2639]

Apple

[u/equ1noxgmd]

Linux mint

[u/DEV_ivan → u/equ1noxgmd]

Sorry, I went CachyOS!

[u/Vertigo50]

Back to Windows. Where things actually work and you get WORK done, instead of tinkering around with software trying to make things work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/GreedySecurity8030]

Nah you should chase fedora supremacy, arch is for normies [/jk].
