      Even more, as Ubuntu has many differences from Debian in choices of packages, configuration and ubuntu’s snap focus and monetizing schemes AND it’s not a rolling release. CachyOS is just a nice installer to jump into rolling Arch.

        CachyOS is more than just a nice installer, they also have additional repos with packages built with optimizations for specific architectures and some simple utilities to make common operations easier.

        It’s still fundamentally Arch with extras, but I think that’s mostly a good thing.

          Yeah, its almost the most Arch can be customized/preconfigured without changing Arch packages.

          Which is just about perfect, IMO.

      Just because it is based on Arch does not mean it is bigger. Look at Manjaro or many other Archlinux based distributions; they have less users on gaming than base Arch.

        Manjaro is objectively trash though, at least Cachy is actually good. Still, I don’t really “get it”. Why not just use regular Arch?
