I’ve been daily driving linux-based OS for about a year and a half now. I started with NixOS per the recommendation of a friend. It’s great for stability and the config-based setup is super cool. I found the software to be a bit behind in updates and the way the nix store worked caused some hiccups with certain things I wanted to do. I still use it for my servers, but switched to CachyOS for my clients.

CachyOS has been great. I use the Shelly GUI to install all of the software. I have Nvidia (RTX 3080) and have had a really smooth experience. The one issue that sticks out to me is there seems to be an issue with switching from a single monitor setup (for sunshine streaming) back to my triple monitor setup including my 32:9 240hz monitor - this became an issue recently after some updates. Could be a KDE thing rather than CachyOS thing, though.

FWIW I know nothing about how to get regular arch working - I’ve heard it’s a bit complex, but CachyOS has been anything but that.

Fifthing Actual - I’ve been using it for a year now. I started with manual imports and then slowly added accounts to SimpleFin for syncing. Now all of my accounts are syncing with SimpleFin and it works great.
