CachyOS vs EndeavourOS: Find Your Ideal Linux Companion! 🚀

👋 Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. If you're new here, I'm Chris I've worked in the IT field for over 20 years, and today we are going to be comparing CachyOS versus EndeavourOS. Which Arch-based distro is the best?

I came here to see if there's any obvious differences between the two that I missed, but why was this video so relaxing? Great chill music and a soothing voice. I like it.

Great comparison video! I've been using EndeavourOS for a while now, but got a new laptop and looking to keep it light. EOS fills the bill, but CachyOS is intriguing with the kernel optimizations it has and a little less memory footprint. Other than those two things, they look pretty similar, so maybe I will just stick with EOS. Both are Arch, so no new learning curve on either. Thanks for this informative walk through!

Another CachyOS user here. Recently moved from Nobara 40 as my daily driver for the past three months

you're videos are rad. like i'm sitting on the back porch in the fall with cup a coffee talking about linux.

Thank you for not wasting time with a walk through of the install lol
Everytime a channel does that I'm just like, "Bro, if someone is thinking of using Linux they know how to run an installer" 😂

EoS was more stable for me, and not in terms of less crashes but overall just less buggy.

For me, near 2 months Leap 15.6 is best daily driver for day to day job. But Cachy vs Endeavour = Ende win. I used it about 8-9 months - stable, good devs custom scripts and it's Antergos Linux continuation of i good remember ;) Thanks 4 video!

I am more interested how both actually compare when they are setup for someone, so typical programs running, and actual differences there.
Most will customize their install anyways, so they dont stay in their fresh install state long

Great comparison, I am using CachyOs. Absolutely love it

[cybernit]

Wouldn't the Cachy OS BORE scheduler kernel be better for gaming than the standard Arch kernel Endeavour OS uses? I am thinking of trying Cachy OS out; but worried it won't work with my Xerox B205 printer since it doesn't list on the Xerox webpage driver support for Arch; but sure Ubuntu works.

Nice comparison, good voice and music!

I am also a new user of Cachyos. I have replaced all my Windows installations with Cachyos and I am quite satisfied with it overall. However, I occasionally miss playing PUBG.

[lsatenstein]

I have both Cachy and endeavour installed.
With the latter, zero faults during the past two months.
With Cachy, with some terminal use, (pacman), I did lose access to the file containing the passwords. I signed out and the only way back in was the reboot.

With Cachy, I run KDE and Gnome, chosen just before password entry.

Hi Chris,
Did you install these in a VM? What did you use for side-by-side OS screens?
Great video.

Thank you.

[mahatmadandy]

Nice review thanks. As a Linux newb, I'm wondering why you use the -t flag when you do the scheduled reboot. As far as I know shutdown -r 2:55 would have been the correct usage. Keen to know!

I love EOS. I gaming on it, and it is awesome. I was using manjaro

[lmotaku]

I''ve been daily driving Nobara for 2 months so far and I've been having a great time. However, I find randomly while playing games, plasmashell will lockup the system or even without a game running it will crash. No rhyme or reason. Sometimes it can be a month, others a week. I have no idea what it's doing.

Not sure when you started doing -t, that's super smart for benching.

I've come down on Endeavour as my Arch distro of choice almost by default. Everybody raves about Cachy, but for some reason it hates my (Z490/i7-10700K/RX 5700 XT) system and flat refuses to boot. Tried Garuda too with the same results. Something in the kernel disagrees with my rig - the new Cachyfied kernels for Nobara also go nowhere, and don't even get far enough to throw up any errors for me to troubleshoot. Luckily Nobara has vanilla and blu kernels to fall back on, and I've kept the January 2025 installers archived just in case. Don't know how far back I'd have to go for Cachy to work, and if I had to replace the later kernels with something else... well, I might as well just install Endeavour unless Cachy has some cool extras to sweeten the deal.

[calholli]

I'm trying to narrow down my daily driver between Nobara, Garuda, Regata.. they are all gaming oriented and very similar in a lot of ways. If you could do a showdown comparison between these, it would be awesome. All three have a lot of preinstalled stuff for noobs and have simple ways to add packages without the terminal. I just can't choose. lol.. I've been at this for days. I could use any of them.. same for Pika, Cachy and instead of going through all the usual things that are practically the same across most distros: you could just focus on the differences, so that the video wouldn't be too long- since it's 3 distros rather than two. Just a suggestion: I need more data. lol.. help

confused between garuda and catchyos and EndeavourOS, whos better for daily and all thing good and updated and enjoy the power of linux and fun without break the system
