I'm sure no one in this community needs to be convinced to try Linux. But I love it every time I see a non-Linux person trying Linux and showing other people that it works. (Also nice to see that Jeff Gerstmann is still around and doing alright after getting screwed over by Gamespot for like 15 years.)

but everyone does seem to rave about it.

It's Arch, CachyOS' added value is just the installer you use to jump into its rolling release. I use CachyOS with Plasma desktop, it's rock solid and intuitive and powerful, UI seems like a careful improvement of Windows tropes, very intuitive shortcuts for tiling and such, powerful ancillary tools like screenshotter and clipboard, excellent and fast file explorer that respects your choices and time... On a Thinkpad with Ryzen, everything works, down to reasonable touchpad default settings, fingerprint reader, bluetooth, sleep and hibernation.
