Here’s his reasoning from the article:
an Arch-based distro optimized for gaming on modern hardware, with support for cutting-edge CPUs and GPUs and an allegedly easy setup.
I installed Cachy recently too and I really like it, after using Mint and Arch for several months (and many others previously).
This quote from Tom Stuart in 2014 has been true since I started using Ruby in 2006.
DHH is the Fox News of Ruby. He’s noisy, he’s reactionary, he’s anti-intellectual, he’s very sure he’s right and he enjoys being rude.
I loved (and still kind of love) Ruby but I’ve always thought “DHH” was a loudmouth wealthy douche.
I’m glad to have always been unapologetically vocal about that.
I’m not exactly sure, but a few things have worked better out of the box than other distros.
For example, it boots up faster than any of the other “simple” distros I’ve tried in some time. I tend to like lightweight things that seem to install a “bare minimum” to start, and Cachy appears to do that. It was dead simple to install my favorite window manager, even using X11 instead of Xorg.
The equivalent minimal mint installation took considerably longer to boot, using pretty much my same settings.
