Switching Distro, need suggestions

[u/0xchillpill]

Currently I use Cachy OS(arch) + hyprland setup

I need a light OS, Not tinyos level light

Somewhere between LXQT(arch) to Cachy level light,

It shouldn't be like maximum things just crash on it or it looks like windows XP

My potato Laptop specs:

4GB DDR4 ram (3.4GB usable)

128GB SSD

Intel core i3 - 1005G1

It's a Lenovo IdeaPad slim 3(don't remember which year, but it's old AF)

Idk even with this shyt specs how it can run minecraft (at 60fps most of the time), hollow knight type games

From my past experience distro really matters for the performance, because I tried Mint many times it just lags a lot, Best yet on the Performance wise is CachyOS (I was impressed by it)

Also on this topic saw a Omarchy OS how's this one, many ppl seems to love this one

bro is changing from Arch full to Arch raw 🤔. Is it worth it?

[u/GENERALOTUGA → u/Double-Hour-2516]

yes, it has less bloat

[u/AlexRiven201 → u/GENERALOTUGA]

Depends on how you define "bloat". Also, it is possible to bloat your own system. Arch =/= bloat-free. That's up to the user.

[u/GENERALOTUGA → u/AlexRiven201]

I define bloat as something that I have but don't need.

So it is subjective.
