I’m new to Linux, been using it for the past couple weeks now and I’m on CachyOS. I absolutely love it.

I’m curious as to what must haves or fun/great things to install? just wanted to hear the communities opinions on what they like to use.

Edit: for me personally I’m on a laptop with a focus on gaming and general content watching like streams, listening to music, etc. Right now i’m using cmus for music and I really like it but I would like tips on enhancing the performance on my laptop. It has nvidia so it’s running great with cachyos right now but any suggestions for improvments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

  • Just figure out what you want to do. Its not like Windows where you need to run scrub scripts, or turn specific things on or off. It’s very subjective.

    Examples:

    • are you in a laptop? You want specific tools for battery and performance tuning.
    • are you gaming?
    • are you working audio or video?

    Just edit your comment and throw a few things out that you’d like to do, and you’ll get a much more complete list of suggestions and tips.
