CachyOS is an Arch-based rolling release Linux distribution focused on performance optimization. It simplifies Arch installation while including custom kernels, tuned system defaults, and optimized packages for modern CPUs. The distro offers multiple desktop environments (GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, etc.) and window managers, uses BTRFS as default filesystem, enables ZRAM, and employs Fish shell. Software management differs from Ubuntu/Fedora, with graphical tools focused on Flatpak while system updates use Pacman. Best suited for intermediate users with modern hardware who want bleeding-edge software and improved responsiveness.
