New to PikaOS
I've been a Linux user since 1993. But the past couple of years, it's been Arch, specifically CachyOS. I still love it, but I decided to try PikaOS and wow. I was actually surprised. My PC is not the highest spec machine:
Ryzen 5 3600
GTX-1660 OC
32GB DDR4 3200
CachyOS with the latest 6xx drivers was fine for most older games, but Stellar Blade, for instance, had a lot of micro-stutters. I understand it's a DX12 game, so those have issues with the nVidia drivers, especially with my under-powered GPU, but even in Windows I can get a pretty good constant 60fps at 1080p with medium settings.
Yesterday, I tried PikaOS with the 595 drivers and I couldn't believe how much smoother the game was for me! I'm not sure what in PikaOS is making the game run where it's completely playable now for me, but I'l very happy with it.
I liked living on the bleeding edge, but maybe now it's nice to have a Linux distro that has more stability with its updates. I never had an issue with Arch, and I still love it, but at this point, I'm pretty sold on PikaOS.
But, that's what I love about Linux. We have so many choices and can find one that works, and it seems like PikaOS is the one that works for me.
