CachyOS for performance, Bazzite for stability. None of key features I’ve mentioned about these two OSes are overwhelmingly better on each side. Barely makes any difference imo.

My perspective: I fly Bazzite on my main rig (HX99g) and it’s been epic. Gaming mode unfortunately doesn’t detect 165Hz but desktop does. Upsides: seems to run games slightly better than windows, and does most daily computer tasks with ease. Downsides: doesn’t run windows native apps. Can be ran though winboat, but say Whatsapp wont have mic unless you add device in settings, but then you’d lose sound of Bazzite.

Other than that, it has been an epic ride. So far that I have nuked internal SSD windows and clonezilla’d my external Bazzite ssd to internal SSD. Windows hasn’t been installed yet. It is in the plans.
