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.

    I’m using it for quite some time now. It works better than other distros in terms of UI smoothness (I use GNOME and on an old machine), the included “fixes” commands in the Hello app are really useful. Though I can’t benefit from the X86_64 V3 optimizations since my machine doesn’t support it. The problem is that it broke 2 or 3 times in the last year. Some issues seem to be related to Flatpaks so I’d highly suggest avoiding them on this distro. They can do stuff up to breaking your file system (no jokes). So if you want a stable system, don’t use Cachy. If you want a faster system no matter what, definitely try it. Some of the bugs can be already fixed but it hasn’t been enough time for me to recommend the distro as a stable one
