Switching To CachyOS
Hey everyone, I need some advice on something. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to switch from Windows 11 to CachyOS. I'm a gamer and I also love to customize my setup, even though I'm working with a pretty low-spec fucking potato laptop.
Here are my laptop's specs:
- CPU: i3-1315U
- RAM: 8GB DDR4 3200mhz
-GPU: iGPU 4GB shared (Intel UHD graphics)
- Storage: 512GB SSD Gen 4
- Battery Health: 90%
My laptop still works fine, but I run into a lot of bottlenecks and my frame rates often drop to single digits, mainly because of how the RAM is optimized. As for games, I've played and finished a ton – probably over 70 played and about 20 or 22 completed. Most of them are story-driven games and indies.
When it comes to customization, I'm currently using Flow Launcher, Windhawk, Komorebi, and YASB on Windows. It's not super heavy, but it's not super light either.
I'm Planing to buy another Ram stick to make it dual channel.
