  IDK why they want to but to me the name seems pretty catchy

  I also would love to know why cachy

  Just some performance I’ve seen people get from it and the nvidia bits. Still need to research before I decide though.

    Thing with cachy is that it doesnt do anything better than other distros when it comes to nvidia drivers, its entire focus is giving you like maybe 5% better performance at the cost of worse stability, so i really would not recommend it to new users.

    I’d say use something like bazzite or pop_os! instead.

    Feel free to dm me if you want help.

      Thanks! My cousin used pop and was a fan tbf. I do like stability but also hoping, as I don’t work on my personal PC, that some instability would revitalise my enjoyment of tinkering. I have become used to the comforts of stability as I’ve aged. Haven’t really played with Linux since the Red Hat 7 days…! I used to use Unix back then for FORTRAN but yeah of late just forgotten everything.

      How does using avx instructions reduce stability?

      source? or did you mean arch is unstable?

        Well, i just meant that all the changes cachy does (on top of being arch based) means it just isnt as stable as some other options

  I’m guessing maybe the scheduler? Its the only real difference I see versus the other gaming distros.

  cachyos.org

  Never heard about it. Couldn’t find what makes it different from the others.

    its whole deal is that they try and squeeze every ounce of performance out for gaming
