My son, and his friends all seem to have switched to https://garudalinux.org/ recently for gaming. Seems to be working out well for them. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
CatchyOS is great, been using it for months and been good overall. There is also garuda linux, it looks great too, only tested it for a little though, worth trying if you are in your distro-hopping phase: https://garudalinux.org. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
I'd suggest trying Nobara and/or Garuda - both are absolutely easymode to install from a USB stick, and are specifically configured for gaming, but have a pretty different look and feel. Nobara is a very plain, kind of old fashioned, plain feeling UI (it rather reminds me of Windows 2000 in some ways, although it's much more advanced of course) while Garuda showcases just how fancy your desktop can look.

Personally, I feel like rolling release distros 'should' include a properly configured (GRUB-)Btrfs+Timeshit/Snapper by default. This will enable the user to rollback to a working system whenever a breakage occurs; even from the GRUB-menu. As the 'unadulterated' Arch is a blank slate upon which you 'should' tinker to your heart's content, it doesn't do this by default. However, you're highly encouraged to set it...

There are actually really good free backup solutions, like https://kopia.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Backblaze's B2 storage is fine if used with a separate app over which you have more control. Others here have mentioned Arq. I have used it, as well as Kopia[0] and Blinkdisk[1] (Blinkdisk is essentially Kopia but with a nicer UI). Can recommend all three highly; the latter two are FOSS.

Regarding the first two points, maybe Kopia [0] come close. It has both GUI and a CLI. For the GUI, it saves your backup key for you (although I have to admit I didn't check how much securely stored it is), but you still have to keep a copy yourself in a password manager or similar in case you need to access your backup from some other machine. AFAIK, for the CLI you are completely on your own regarding secrets... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
For #2 I use https://kopia.io/ and upload to Backblaze b3 (S3 api). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I'd throw in kopia[0], fast, many features and easy to use across platforms. [0] https://kopia.io/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
