CachyOS Is Now the Most Popular Desktop Distro on ProtonDB

It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

    In other words, distros where the support base is large enough to be considered “too big to fail” (Ubuntu, Mainline Arch, Manjaro, Fedora, Gentoo, etc…)

    bruh, no Debian?

        I mean , from the ones that are listed, it’s only ubuntu, but Debian has spawned A LOT of other distros; and is the literal granddaddy of mint.

          True. But I was meaning more spiritually.

          If Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, Suse, etc… are the Greek Gods, then Debian and Slackware are the mythological Titans that preceded them.

          Distros that come after the Greek Gods (Elementary, Manjaro, CachyOS, etc…) are basically the equivalent of every time Zeus or another god would go down to earth to have sex with a mortal and create a demigod (Hercules, Achilles, Aeneaus, etc…)

            Wow, I did not expect Fedora to be this much of a Johnny come lately. Debian is 93, Fedora 03! Even when you consider Red Hat, which is basically fedora , RH is STILL from 95.
