This was a good read, thanks for posting. I'm on vanilla arch and I looked into switching to Cachy but the size of the team and the direct replacement of Arch specific packages stopped me. I don't know if I trust a small team, in already the niche OS of today, to maintain everything indefinitely and without issue.

This is one of those scenarios that id wish for those optimizations to come to trunk in a meaningful way than for a separate branch to exist.

I think the only reason to switch would be the optimizations, right? For new users, the installer is probably nice.

You can get all the optimizations they made in Arch, too. It's very easy to get their custom kernel, just install linux-cachyos from AUR.
