That sucks! At least for me, mint just worked.

I just installed cachyos after using mint for a year. Overall, was smooth until i tried to use VLC. Video played fine, but an hour of settings later and i could finally hear the movie. I was an inch from saying fuck it and going back to mint. I debug software for a living, last thing i want to deal with is debugging my personal computer when I just want to watch a movie.

May go back at some point, mint really is so easy and just worked, but the performance and aur are pretty great.
