IsIs it really all that difficult to use these popular coding and browsing tools such as Heroic Launcher, Visual Studio Code and Brave within Arch Linuxes like CachyOS?
Last time I touched an Archy Linux, I don’t recall it being difficult for some of the things on that list. And it still comes from a central store of apps reminiscent of the Microsoft Store for example…
