I am a long term Arch user. I consider to recommend CachyOS to a friend with very limited technical knowledge. I read CachyOS is suitable for Linux beginners. But since it is based on Arch, doesn’t that mean manual user intervention is sometimes necessary like it is in Arch? If it is, I don’t think it is suitable for a noob user.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I could not find anything about manual intervention or about checking Arch news before updating in the Cachy wiki or anywhere else.

    Anything Arch based is going to have the risk of needing to have manual interventions from time to time. Hell, I had to do a manual intervention on my Windows 10 PC before.

    (Windows pushed a bad update that caused some driver to fail SFC or whatever it’s called and make instant BSOD on boot.)

      Yes sure. I guess it depends how often this will be the case. It is his first PC and it would be cool if he has a good experience with Linux. I don’t want him to loose to the dark side of the force if you get my drift :)
