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 added the repos to my existing arch install sometime last year I think. It’s pretty seamless in that regard, I think I only ran into a mirror sync issue once, and it was resolved a few hours later.

    My CPU supports the v4 packages, but I’m not really sure how much benefit there is for most things. (And things like tf/torch aren’t coming from the repos anyways.)

    I also use their kernel. I can feel a difference between stock and zen or stock and cachyos, but I don’t think I’d be able to tell zen and cachyos apart tbh.

    I definitely wouldn’t switch distros for it, but since it’s a trivial, drop in repo, I’ll keep using it.

    Adding another organization isn’t ideal trust-wise of course.
