@@Jarhead-xc5wl Yeah. I’ve always preferred Arch and it’s the best optimized for gaming / productivity out of the box supposedly, according to Matt. For Fedora he recommends using the CachyOS kernel and settings, so may as well save some work and go to the source IMO.

@@Jarhead-xc5wl I don’t think you really need one. Download the desktop edition ISO (they have a handheld edition for Steam Deck etc., you don’t want that for a desktop), use Rufus to write the ISO to a USB drive, and turn off your PC. Insert the USB, and as you boot your computer try hammering delete. It may be a different key for you like F7 or Escape or something, but Delete usually works. You need to enter your BIOS and turn off Secure Boot, because CachyOS’s binaries are not signed by Microsoft’s key. Once that’s done, you can either change the boot order so USB is at the top, or during boot you can hammer F12 or F7 or something to bring up the boot menu, then select the USB drive. All this is the most complicated part. It will bring up a menu asking if you want the regular installer, the proprietary Nvidia installer, etc. if you have an Nvidia card use the proprietary Nvidia one. If not, use the regular one. Once you’re in the CachyOS installer, it’s pretty straightforward. It will ask you your time zone, then what bootloader you want, so just use Grub or rEFInd. I think it asks some basic stuff like locale / language. When it comes time to partition the disk, that depends. If you are installing it on its own SSD, or if you’re installing it on the same SSD as Windows and you intend to wipe out Windows, select Erase and just let it partition for you. If on the other hand you’re installing it on the same SSD as Windows (and you’re using UEFI, which should be the case unless the PC is very old), it should bring up a checkbox or something where if you want to dual boot with Windows on the same drive, it gives you the option to do that and shrink the Windows install to make room for CachyOS, so you can use that if you want. Let it erase the empty space and do the partitions itself. After that, it will ask what desktop environment you want. Matt has a video with his setup for Gnome 46 that I am using in a VM and really like a lot, so if you want to give that a shot check GNOME and uncheck KDE if it’s checked. KDE has more of a Windows like layout by default, but it’s buggier and often overwhelming for new users. Plus, Dash to Panel and ArcMenu can make GNOME look like Windows if you want. After that, the rest is pretty straightforward, s it just asks you to pick your username and password etc.,then pick the packages you want preinstalled. I may have some of the steps out of order. After that just let it install. When it”s done, let it reboot.
