He’s not talking about fedora, he didn’t ask about if fedora’s changes would make it into cachy os but about the timeframe on how quickly the plasma login manager being a default for the plasma desktop environment on cachy os. Talk about whiffing right over the head, I think it must’ve been in orbit.
The cult might fracture a bit though which is something we could hope for.
HTPCs are why bazzite is as popular as it is
I’m in the same boat, my main gaming pc is still bazzite for now (I use it like a HTPC) but eventually when i can be bothered I’ll be on cachy os as I’ve really enjoyed being able to use the arch-iness on my other devices that have it.
Initially because i had a HTPC and windows with big picture mode still felt like a second class experience as there were no system settings in big picture mode itself. Went to bazzite as soon as i got an amd card.
Then I had a surface go 2 that could no longer update to the next version of windows because Microsoft didn’t give it enough built in memory to process the download. So i went to arch hyprland and gained so much more time on battery and things ran smoother. So now all of my other devices (except a work laptop) are now on Linux (cachyos is my go to now).
This is on pretty much all keyboards. It’s on the standard G Board even. Look into the settings of whatever keyboard you’re already using, it’s likely just turned off.
I think it’s at 5 now is it not? Or was that just steam specific stats? (Which are obviously skewed in their favour because of SteamOS)
I’ve just gotten used to knowing i can get the latest and greatest and AUR makes a lot of stuff easy when it comes to getting stuff not readily available on the package manager. There’s not often i can’t find something i want or need to not be on there.
I’ve used both base arch and cachyos. I’ve landed on cachyos for now because i didn’t want to fiddle with games and wine and just wanted them to work and they just do on cachyos. Laptops that i don’t expect to game on just get base arch with hyprland installed, just mostly so i can get my tinkering fix from modifying hyprland

Didn’t know you could buy used licenses, I’ll definitely have to look into them. Thanks again.
Ooo thanks for the zrhythm reco. They might be suitable for me because i liked my time with the bitwig trial, but I’m below even a hobby music maker and only like to mess around every now and then so paying the price they ask for is probably not financially responsible for me at the moment.
I’ve always struggled installing it on wine. But I’ve never been good at wine and other windows translation stuff outside of letting things like steam and heroic install and manage those things for me.
Bigwig Studio is made by some of the original Devs of Ableton i believe and from what I’ve messed around with it in a trial. It’s way better (stylish too). If I was less of an occasional dabbler in music production I’d absolutely pay for this. Linux is not a second class citizen to them which is great, any VSTs they release themselves always work on Linux natively too.
Theres also reaper, but I feel like the barrier to entry on that one can feel a bit daunting. It never feels just ready to go for a newcomer.
Theres also a bunch of different trackers that are Linux compatible some with VST support too, but that’s a very different way of making music from the traditional DAW.

In all of the bazzite documentation they always warn against it anyway. As long as you use the OS as intended it’s super smooth and simple, you just have steam and flatpaks readily available.
If you want a good gaming distro but more control like using a proper native package manager instead of flatpaks, I’d recommend cachyos. If you don’t want to delve into distrobox on bazzite to get use of a package manager anyway.
You could always have a Debian distrobox if you want to use its systems within bazzite.
I installed some stuff with epm-ostree early on in my experience in bazzite and at some point i could no longer update. I had to do a rebase to sort it. Thankfully, that’s easy and pretty quick though.
Difference in GPU?
Even though bazzite is fedora-based you’re not really meant to interact with the fedora side of it all. At least that’s the impression I’ve gotten from it.
Since Google sheets came around I’ve always found freaking with excel more of a headache so I’ve not touched it for a loooong time. Only the reader version when someone sends me an xlsx in an email
