What would you recommend then?
Default but In use fstab to keep my home folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Video) on a separate HDD.
I watch a lot of his videos. But I didn’t watch this one because I loathe and resent clickbait titles. I would imagine a fair number of people chose not to watch and down voted because of the clickbait title alone.
Maybe shouldn’t have used a clickbait title then?
I have been an Arch user for a decade. This year I switched to CachyOS to give it a go. Performance (for me at least) has indeed improved but its not a massive jump.
I don’t find it particularly ‘bloated’. There wasn’t much I had to uninstall after installation and the installer gives you the option to deselect packages. List of packages here: https://github.com/CachyOS/cachyos-calamares/blob/cachyos-systemd-qt6/src/modules/netinstall/netinstall.yaml
Its also not as simple as many people claim to switch to CachyOS just by changing repos. CachyOS also has some of its own configs that would also need to be imported. I found it was easier just to install Cachy and remove unwanted packahes than switch repos on my Arch install and fiddle around with a bunch of configs and change some packages and settings.
So far I have found CachyOS a little more buggy than my install of Arch. But not so much that I want to switch back. So far the slight performance increases are keeping it worth it.
If, gods forbid, CachyOS ever stopped being maintained, it will be easy to switch back to vanilla Arch.
