I’m currently on PopOS 22 and I’m in the mood to try something different. I mostly game but I do need my system to have support for the everyday tasks I sometimes need to do, so I fell bazzite is a no go.
I see a lot of people recommending Cachy, will it be a smooth experience for someone used to linux? Is Endeavour a better choice? Will I have issued with my PS3 eye camera and x52 stick?


I was under the impression that their aggressive pruning of things usually used for workstation tasks would hamper a sane use of it. From what I’ve gathered they even removed the usual python bins that come with most linux distros these days, as an example.
I don’t know what any of that means but I haven’t encountered anything that prevents me from using it on my workstation. Sounds like you may have a more advanced usecase.
Universal Blue does things differently from traditional distros and their philosophy is very cloud/container based.
They specifically have the Bluefin variant for workstation and software development use:
