During CachyOS installation, select "i3" as desktop environment and look how many of the accessory programs die from linking errors. That should not happen with a package manager with dependency management.
With all the unofficial patches and experimental compilers they use it must be full of subtle bugs.
What are examples of packages that fail with linking errors? What are the errors?
Yah well? Why would I when there is Plasma/KDE which never did that to me? :-)
I use CachyOS as my daily driver and I gave up on i3 after few tries. It just doesn’t work.
I’m happy with XFCE now and it is very performant.
