very well

I already have Hyprland installed

I haven't switched to it full time, still happy with KDE... but niri is really nice too

I'm a Transwoman though.

There isnt any bad sides, not really.

It used to be hard to install but that is also not the case anymore.

People think its unstable because it has the latest packages. I mean, sometimes i have had issues, sure. A few times, bluetooth stack was bugging out in the newest kernel. Another time plasma had bugs with graphics, which I reported and it was fixed just a few weeks later.

Nothing that broke the entire system. Just small issues.

But this is much better than running Debian which has very old packages, full of old bugs. They used to be a full generation behind in plasma for example, and using a kernel that was over a year old. Those things leads to poor hardware support, getting bugs solved over a year ago and so on.

I really dont understand Debian users because ive never experienced how an updated system is worse than a very old one.

Same, and the only few problems I've ever had with it have been due to Nvidia drivers, so not on them.

Cachy is Arch based so unless you really want to customize your system its not worth switching IMO as you're likely already receiving the Arch benefits.

CatchyOS is based on Arch, so it shouldn't be too hard. I have never used CatchyOS so this is from the perspective of a Fedora user who used ArchInstall.

Arch is quite barebones in the sense it doesn't do GUIs for install and shit, it is terminal centric, that being said it is very fast and efficient and effectively you build your own set up (even in archinstall). Here's what I will say though (idk how much you've looked into it or what your skill level is)...

• If your installing over wifi, iwctl is how you connect to a wifi network. There's plenty of tutorials on this and there's the Wiki, so there's that. It's actually a piece of piss once you understand it.
• archinstall is your friend.
• File systems look confusing? Just use btrfs.
• In Audio systems you can choose what audio system you want, but I just use pipewire.
• Don't forget to set your network options to "network manager".
• Under profile, you can choose if you wanna set up a desktop, server, or whatever and in desktop you can choose whatever DE or WM you want. You won't get the full suite like with other distros, but you will get enough to operate your choice.
• waybar isn't installed automatically of if you are installing hyprland or such, bare that in mind. You will need this to access the nm-applet. Also you can fix the missing symbols in waybar by installing otf-font-awesome either before in Additional Packages or after with sudo pacman -S otf-font-awesome
• You can choose from the whole archlinux package repo in additional packages and here you can install anything additional you might need. I would recommend flatpak if you can't find what you want via pacman, whatever VPN you use, steam, a browser (take your pick) and waybar and otf-font-awesome.
• The wiki and DuckDuckGo are your friends.
• If you are not used to WMs but wanna use one, install a DE as a backup.
• Every morning/every evening/before you shut down for the night, open up a terminal and type sudo pacman -Syu to look for updates and install them. There's no "Updates available" notification for system shit here.

Ubuntu frustrates me more than arch.

what's your issues with fedora? every time in installed it, i had no problems.

Fedora was also my first choice, but the allure of the AUR was too strong at the time and I didn't last a month...

I feel this. I had to give up on connecting to my home wifi on windows server edition.

This was right after I daily drove openbsd for 2 months. I was connecting to PEAP encrypted networks using wpa_supplicant and now I couldn't connect to my phone's hotspot.

I left Fedora!

Brrp!
