It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

Do you have Limine working on your newer PC?
When I tried using something like Snapper on my own a year or two ago I was super confused and gave up, but Limine on Cachy has been so simple. I've rolled back updates a couple of times already.
For context, I decided to wipe my Windows10 install about a month ago and I'm using only using Cachy now.
