I’m going to switch to arch for my general-purpose laptop, since I feel like kubuntu is not enough for me, I want to try a tiling WM and do some ricing.

I’m still undecided between plain arch or CachyOS, because that optimisation looks promising and I also game on my laptop.

The fact is that CachyOS seems more “bloated” with some unnecessary packages, so what do you suggest me? A simple arch installation, arch using the cachy-linux kernel and its optimisations or a debloated CachyOS install? Thank you all in advance.

    Start by using base arch and eventually you can try to use the cachyos repos if you want to try and get some performance uplift.

        There are many meta-packages you can install. Im on arch for years, it works well as long as you dont constantly tinker with it.

        I usually set up an arch install with the desktop environment and some basic setup where I can use it for my needs, then I use clonezilla to make a mirror of the install. Once a month I update the mirror by itself. In case I bork my main install, I use the mirror to rewrite my main system, no need to reinstall. I guess having a cheap 500gb ssd around pays for iself in this usecase.
