CachyOS has been absolutely fantastic for me. As a quick example: I just installed Minecraft Java edition with the Prism Launcher. It’s in the CachyOS repo, so it was 1 step to install Prism Launcher. Even easier than Windows—I didn’t even need to search for a download page. Come to think of it, I’ll also get automatic updates whenever I do a 1-step full system upgrade, so it’s going to be 0 maintenance.
The year of Linux has arrived. I used to make fun of all the Linux evangelists, but they’re right this time. Linux offers a better experience than Windows, for most common use cases.
I’m easily in the phase where I’m dropping $20+ on games without even thinking to look what their status is on ProtonDB. Windows is still around for some back-compat stuff and old projects I’m finishing, but I’m good where I am.
That said, on Cachy, does anyone have recommendations for a Calendar app that works with MS? I’ve tried a few, and a number of them don’t work on Cachy.
If so, I just use Chromium for my “work” browser with M365 web apps for most things, and only spin up my Windows 11 VM when I need to do heavier OneDrive or Excel tasks.

What’s MS? MicroSoft?

I’ve considered that, but webapps aren’t great for notifications. Even when they support them, they don’t always run persistently.
