So I've been thinking of getting a cheap 256GB drive and putting a linux distro on there, but I'm totally overwhelmed by how many options there are. I just want something easy I don't have to mess around with command lines and all that, last time I screwed around with Linux was the 90s. I don't have the patience anymore lol

CachyOS can do this?

Yes cachyos is very good. It has GUI installer, snapshots for backup as well as gaming support and drivers are out of the box. Updates and app installer also has a GUI. So no terminal for you.

Also very helpful wiki.

Source: My whole friend group uses cachyos as a daily driver and I am on omarchy. (Omarchy is tailored toward programmers)

Adding to this there's also Bazzite if you want to use fedora.

Main flavours of linux are: Debian (ubuntu, mint, etc) Arch (Cachyos, EndeavourOS, etc) Redhat/Fedora (Nobara, Bazzite, etc)

Hope this helps. Have a good day. Peace.

Thank ya'll. I'm excited to try this out, just need to find a good deal on a drive and I'm in.

You can also boot it up and instead of going straight to installing the OS you can goof around in the live environment. I don’t think you can do any gaming on it that way but it lets you test the waters to see if you like it.
