I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about CachyOS recently. Has anyone here tried it? It seems interesting and I might give it a go (currently on EndeavourOS) on a spare drive in my PC.
Daily drove it for a year, and it did its job fine. The devs are friendly, but to me the distro wasn’t that much more than Arch with some different kernels
First thing I did was look at a proper benchmark: https://www.phoronix.com/review/cachyos-linux-perf/1
With the exception of the gaming benchmarks coming out well on CachyOS, in many of the workloads CachyOS didn’t demonstrate any measurably better performance over fellow Arch Linux derivative EndeavourOS.
So it’s great for gamers who want to squeeze extra performance from their hardware.
That’s good to know. Not worth a reinstall for me then.
