Flatlined my win10 on my Razer Blade today and put CachyOS on it - and dude, the things that just worked this time around, are insane.
- Screen magnification was enabled by default
- Color inversion was bound by default, just had to enable it
- Installed flatpak, flatseal and Bazaar just fine
- Had to install xdg-portal stuff to get icons to show up; not a big problem, just wish this was a little more obvious
- Got Brave and all my usual defaults to work just fine.
- When it wasn't in the repos, it was on flatpak. Perfect.
My laptop is doing absolutely fine and well and this is reeeeeally nice. Just took me a moment to find Skanpage to scan stuff and I haven't figured out how to connect my network-attached printer (same unit, Epson XP-7100). I also had to modify /etc/fstab to get my NFS shares to work using `noauto`. A little annoying but not a deal-breaker, a systemd user unit might just help here.
But like, the accessibility stuff. THAT just working and doing so very well is sooooooooo important for me and my use-case. I friggin love this. <3
Gonna test external screen and all the other stuff later, for now I am just happy as heck :3
