Just installed cachy on my partners PC. They just play games, I handle the maintenance.

So far they are impressed at how quick it feels and how fast and unintrusive the system updates are.

I’m not subjecting anyone to anything. I acknowledged that this practice is risky, however these scripts are maintained by a community of other nerds just like every other open source project you enjoy. If you’re going to use these proceed with the same caution you would anything else on the internet, but in my experience they are safe.

Good advice but ime these helper scripts are legit.

People generally want something closer to cutting edge / bleeding edge for games. Can’t be waiting 6 months for graphics drivers that fix an issue in a game you are playing today.
