    i used to use cacht, but after updating to kde plasma 6.6 it would freeze after i put the correct login and password. thankfully it has snapshots, so i could just not update it for a while.

    i waited for 6.6.1, and instead of freezing it just closed and reopened the login page. 6.6.2 went back to freexing forever.

    so i gave up, and installed base arch to see if that’d work, and it did! i also found out that archinstall is a thing! (i had installed arch manually many times a while back, and the clock time always broke) i did break it once by not configing limine snapper correctly, but now it’s great, and feels basically equal to cachy (except things don’t break and there isn’t a bunch of unecessary programs installed)

      This has been fixed since then.

      Also to get around it just press ctrl alt f2 and sign in in the window that appears. But like I said, no need since it has been fixed.

        Still unacceptable

        People just want something that works reliably

          That’s why bleeding edge distributions should not be recommended to new users.

        that’s great, but i have already switched after waiting for around 3 patches, and i do not care about cachy anymore, since i got snapshots and everything working perfectly on base arch
