Dude, i just installed Armada OS on sunday, and was lamenting the performance of games on my Snapdragon based handheld.

I updated a more preview or beta release, and it started downloading a bunch of new flavors of proton pack, including the Proton 11 cachy os flavor for ARM, and gaming performance roughly tripled for me. I stayed up for hours testing my games in utter amazement at what these little handhelds can do with the right translators.

Pardon my Linux ignorance, but how much work would it be to switch from Manjaro to Cachy? Been running Manjaro for about two years, but have been thinking about switching since I’ve started using my desktop as a Jellyfin server, and Manjaro doesn’t support h264 or h265 hardware acceleration. And Cachy seems like where it’s at right now for gaming.

Is it mostly just copying over the home folder and reinstalling apps? Or would I run into similar issues as doing a “dirty” windows reinstall, with broken paths and a lot of “lost” junk folders floating around? Would love to hear from some distro-hoppers
