2026 is the year of the Linux desktop

For me, at least. Finally moved my desktop off Windows 10 and on to CachyOS. Things just… work. Finding applications to install via AUR is easy, gaming is great. The only thing I’m missing is Fusion360 but I didn’t use it too much to begin with. Happy to be Microsoft-free. Several friends have switched off of Windows as well which is great to see. I’ve really been enjoying Arch (btw) I have CachyOS on my laptop and also in a VM which is nice to have the same desktop experience on all my devices. Looking forward to the road ahead!

The AUR really does make Arch-based distros feel complete compared to other options. That massive package ecosystem covers most needs without hunting around random websites, though occasional build failures still happen. Have you tried any of the AUR helpers to manage updates and orphan packages?

I've been using yay and cachy-update, which seem to handle basic package management well for me so far. Do you have a favorite?

OctoPi is included by default for a GUI app, iirc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
