  • It is weird, but also nice to see. We need the simple minded people. We need those that just want to have a working OS so that they can play a game or edit a document. That’s the beauty and curse of Linux. It will eventually make some people angry, because open source projects will come and go. Bazzite might be maintained now, but maybe not tomorrow. And the simple minded people don’t want to switch to something different. So I really hope the popularity is motivating current and future maintainers to make their userbase happy, even if I am not part of that one.

    Worth noting: “simple people” is in no way meant as a derogatory term, I honestly even envy them.





  • I do the updates when I feel like it, roughly once every couple days. I don’t check anything at all to be honest, because I use CachyOS on my private computer and I honestly do not care so much about getting malware. I know, probably not the answer you expected, I just learned to live with the risk. Besides that, I try to install flatpacks or via npm. pacman is just used for the things where no other option exists. AUR is a huge mess and will always be full of malware, so don’t ever use Arch on any important devices. This is why on my servers I have Debian 13. CachyOS has own repositories, but as far as I know they just mirror AUR and add/modify some build flags
