From CachyOS's homepage:

CachyOS ships every package optimized for your CPU - compiled with x86-64-v3/v4 and Zen4 instructions, LTO, and PGO - on top of a custom kernel with the tuned EEVDF scheduler. The result: a noticeably faster Arch Linux experience with the same rolling-release flexibility you expect.

There's no way this many gamers know what half of those things mean. Someone should look into the marketing behind cachy because whatever they're doing is clearly a winning strategy in the distro wars.

Also, it's pretty funny to see Nix and Flatpak on here. Nix can't beat another package manager even when it tries to compete in a totally different category.

...but at least it surpassed Manjaro
