Just curious what everyone is running. My setup is: -Ryzen 9 7900x (microcenter deal)
-AMD Reference 7900xtx
-Asus B650e-f mobo
-32GB g.skill flare ddr5-6000
-Acer Predator 1tb nvme 4.0-7000
-Inland professional series 1tb nvme 3.0
-Id Cooling 280mm aio
-Corsair Ax-850 Power Supply
-ThermalTake View 71 Full Size Case
-Lian Li Strimers (gpu and mobo)
-Antec Riing Fans
Dual booting CachyOS and Windows 11 at this time.
Very nice! I haved used garuda before and liked it a lot. I switched from garuda to cachy when I got the 7900xtx as I couldn’t update llvm and mesa to experimental versions without breaking a bunch of dependencies to get the gpu working. Cachy already had those optimizations built in and ended up having a lot of optimizations I liked (BORE scheduler, etc) so I have stayed on it since.
Its a newer distro, but has good support and very friendly devs.
Does the change in scheduler help out in CPU-bound games?
I think it does. D4 and Halo seem to be on par or slightly ahead of windows. Also basic tasks, web browsing, etc feel more “snappy” on the same hardware than garuda, which used the zen kernel.
