I moved over from Arch to CachyOS when my OS SSD started to fail SMART tests. So far this is what I’ve liked about Cachy:
Very easy to use installer.
Really nice btrfs snapshot system by default.
Optimized kernels and packages repos, compiled with modern CPU instructions (not that much of a difference in real use, but still a nice to have).
Its Steam Proton fork (Cachy-Proton) has a lot of niceties too for FSR and stuff (Although I barely use that so I stick with GE-Proton).
Its just a smooth arch experience with sane defaults.
Of course, I ended up tweaking some things. I switched from the fish shell to zsh with my reliable plugins. I don’t use Shelly, Its GUI package manager, so it’s just kind of there. It really is like endeavour OS with the gaming aspect turned to eleven, and I’m very happy with it.
