I do recommend everyone give installing Arch Linux a shot one time (if only to get the FOSS scout badge saying you did), but when you just want to get a system up and running as quickly as possible, you have options like CachyOS. It sets up everything for you, which Arch veterans will scoff at, but it&#8217;s the perfect way to get something set up using the Arch base.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, if you&#8217;ve always wanted to give CachyOS a shot, the OS has made it even easier to get it set up. You can now take a quick look at each desktop environment so you can figure out which one is best for you.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tI installed NixOS on my daily driver, but I went back to Fedora in a week<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p>                                              &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/one-of-the-best-arch-based-linux-distros-out-there-just-got-even-easier-to-set-up\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best Arch-based Linux distros out there just got even easier to set&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221740,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/10\/cachyos-setup-5.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[99,97,71],"class_list":["post-221739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-arch-linux","tag-fedora","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221739"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221739"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221741,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221739\/revisions\/221741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
