This Is About CatchyOS an ARCH Derivative

 This Is About CatchyOS an ARCH Derivative

This one of the best ARCH derivatives, which I am currently installing on my NUC. 

Little note about ManjaroOS which is failing to recognize my partition table with 28 partitions and I am ditching it now from my top five distributions.

Its place is taken over by this CatchyOS.

There nothing bad about it.

1. WiFi configuration is smooth.

2. One can install the KDE version off line or choose  your choice of desktop.

3. I choose Gnome and Openbox.

One can choose several if one needs.

 I have no space for many.

 4. It has its Catchy browser which does not point to its home site.

No interference to privacy. Probably derives from Firefox.

5. Installation is fast. 

6. It has Gparted.

7. It is similar to MX Linux but much better and lighter.

8. recognize my partition table and I can go on with instlling straight awy.

However, I did take some space out of /root and created a /opt and /var partiton for my liking

9. It has Synaptic Package Manager. 

10. No LibreOffice but one can add other office pages.

Installation is over and I need to add my favorite applications.

 Only downside it did not recognize my GRUB Bootloader.

I need to reinstall Gnome for the umpteenth time.
