I’m new to Linux, been using it for the past couple weeks now and I’m on CachyOS. I absolutely love it.

I’m curious as to what must haves or fun/great things to install? just wanted to hear the communities opinions on what they like to use.

Edit: for me personally I’m on a laptop with a focus on gaming and general content watching like streams, listening to music, etc. Right now i’m using cmus for music and I really like it but I would like tips on enhancing the performance on my laptop. It has nvidia so it’s running great with cachyos right now but any suggestions for improvments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    cmus is great for music

    mpv for videos, there are different extensions to automatically open YT videos with it.

    beets for sorting music

    nicotine plus for looking for music

    syncthing

    zathura

    improving performance isn’t easy if you feel like things are running smoothly, but there are a few laptop specific things like tlp that you could look into although I suspect that distro uses them out of the box
