  • NixOS ships a very minimal kernel and relies on you to declare what modules you want to load (or sometimes relies on nixos-generate-hardware to find some of those modules), so even if it is really standard hardware that “just works” on other distros, you still may need to dig out some kernel modules and explicitly load them.

    But if CachyOS works for you and makes you comfortable, that is good and you should use it.

    However “it worked on other distro X, thus is should work on other distro Y” probably isn’t a helpful way of thinking to get things working.
