Finally a distro has me tempted into considering moving from Arch which I’ve been using for almost a decade (kudos to the CachyOS devs on a job well done!).

But one of the things I love about Arch is that I choose what is and isn’t installed and after my spouse installed Cachy (also previously on Arch) I can see a number of apps come pre-installed (like Meld).

Is there a list somewhere of what CachyOS installs by default so that I can uninstall it post-install? Or is there a minimal install ISO somewhere that I’m missing that just installs the Cachy ‘tweaks’ and Cachy-specific apps (like Hello) + a DE?

I have considered converting my Arch install to Cachy but since this install is 3+ years old now, it would be more difficult to find and get rid of all the tweaks I’ve made here and there than just start a fresh CachyOS install and remove unwanted packages.

    I tried it. Didn’t found noticeable performance increase for me to daily drive. Biggest turn off for me was their bloat. Ended up going back to EndeavourOS. Funny enough exiftools performed better on EOS (only by couple of seconds).
