    There’s so much good advice here.

    On the other hand, sometimes problems solve themselves if you wait. I wanted to find a way to add text extraction to the screenshot utility in KDE Plasma — a feature I missed from other operating systems. The solution was to wait a week until Cachy updated to Plasma 6.6, which added that feature.

    Preach.

    “Wait a week until its fixed” has saved me from screwing up my own CachyOS install, even if I identify the issue well enough.

    But if my browser in Linux can’t find my webcam mic because I installed EasyEffects without bothering to read the docs, brother, that’s on me.

    YES.

    Distros like this are pretty great out-of-the-box. If you start installing stuff from the AUR and things break, that is your fault, as now you are the system maintainer.
