🚀 CachyOS is a performance-optimized Arch Linux distribution with CPU-specific package builds, advanced kernel scheduling, and an effortless installation — delivering measurable speed gains without sacrificing simplicity.
CachyOS is also great for gaming, but calling it “a gaming distro” is underselling it for people who do not care much for gaming. It’s a highly optimized general-use distro that is also great for gaming.
But by default it does not install any gaming-related packages, so calling it a gaming distro is wrong. It has a shortcut to install everything most people would want for gaming, and the team also tunes it in ways that benefits gaming, and they also have their own Proton fork called Proton-CachyOS that is in my opinion the best one. Right now it is still based on a relatively old Experimental version because the main dev behind it is taking a break, but it’s normally very up-to-date on everything including new features and fixes.
Plenty of people do not want the “bloat” that actual gaming distros include by default and CachyOS is the best of both worlds. Pretty clean by default, with easy access to gaming tools if you want that.
