I am watching this on my newly installed CachyOS, this is after your videos, it was a very painless install. Im Looking forward to your cachyOS video series, keep it up.

[sesimie]

I must say CachyOS looks great. I would like to see a Comparison VS video. CachyOS Vs Nobara40.

My fav distro!

[xornado]

I'm running ChachyOS since May because of your Video.
Before I tested POP!OS, Mint, Zorin, Manjaro, Nobara ect. but CachyOS for my usage is the best.
Dual Boot works fine with rEFInd and didn't messed up anything. You can also set up Secure Boot.
Switching from a 512GB NVMe (xfs partition) to a 2TB NVMe worked fine.
I was able to clone that partition one to one. With the Wiki I could also install my network Brother printer and scanner with the AUR Packages.
There is also a "Zen 4/5 optimized Repository" which I actually use for my 7800X3D CPU.
I have to say it is amazing. I've been played Hunt: Showdown, Remnant: From the Ashes some DOS Classic's, Need for Speed Underground 2 ect.

One thing regarding your last point against using CachyOS, you can still use cachy optimized LTS kernel if you want more stable experience and don't care about all the newest patches

[CaduPedroni]

It's been about a month since I decided to test Linux, but which distro to install was my biggest question, I tested a few but after watching one of your first videos about cachyos, that's when the desire to install the distro shined even though I didn't know what an Arch would be. Linux.

Result, since then I have had cachyos installed as main OS, I work with programming and I love playing. To my surprise, cachyos served both of them very well, for games it really was the best experience possible, I just have to thank you.

The cachyos community and team are amazing whether on the forum or discord.

I'm really looking forward to watching the next videos, learning more every day about the distro, about Linux, about Arch and also taking advantage of the best performance for games.

Installed Cachy a week ago cuz of you homie. Thanks for introducing me to this distro.

[ticogis]

think we need a side by side performance comparison. Arch vs CachyOS

[llvn]

Nice work, your channel is an awesome resource

I know the pain of getting a vanilla Arch where you want it. I have even built some scripts myself for this. Yep, another one working with on the same thing as many others. Gradually changed things and migrated from different desktop envs (from Budgie to Gnome to Hyprland to Plasma). While it was great to learn about Arch (just migrated from Windows then Debian), it quickly became a time sucker to just configure low level things, like nvidia drivers, some virtualization aspects and others.

What I really appreciated your video was the clarity presenting the top reasons for using CachyOS. So much so that I quickly brought up a VM, saw that it was basically the same as what I already had. The fact that some of the optimizations that I had to script are already there is amazing.

Mon PC va arriver la semaine prochaine. Premier PC gaming depuis + de 10ans et bien decide a n'utiliser que Linux. Merci pour tes videos, je vais installer Cachy et never look back. Merci ! Hate de voir la serie qui arrive

[mirkodiciano]

just switched to catchy last night thanks to your videos thanks papa

[christianpeyrusse]

J’ai pu tester CachyOs justement pour les jeux et j’ai été surpris de voir que nativement sans rien modifier ou configurer l’OS est optimisé. Les jeux sont fluides et j’obtiens même de meilleurs performances que sous Windows. Pourtant usager de distros a base de Debian, je sens que cet OS va rester longtemps sur ma machine. Merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos 😊

[robertdavis]

Right on! I've been installing arch on an old laptop, usb drive, dual boot, portable ssd, APU based desktop and now I will be installing Cashy on my main desktop. I'm convinced I know enough about arch to love it but manual installation and optimization is a major task that has a huge margin for error. Thanks for the video.

[andy-knby]

Thank you for this video, that’s really interesting. I used Garuda Linux in the past, which is also based on Arch. Maybe you can compare CachyOS some time with other Arch based Gaming optimized distros? They main problem I have with Arch based distros is, that they are always doing a lot of updates, almost every day. If you did not use your arch system for some time and you try to use it again, you will be overwhelmed by all that updates the system is trying to do then. And I sometimes have the feeling that this updates are struggling with themselves, a older update wants to install after a newer update is done and so on.

[bulldoser]

I only watch your videos for your accent. Just love it.

[j_art]

looks awesome! one question: what abt security? SELinux, AppArmor?...

[eugenech.]

I glanced at your other video before switching to CachyOS and I have been using it for more than a week and its great. Blazingly fast!

[OCBlanco]

Oh man, here I was watching some of your older videos about CachyOS, considering to switch from Fedora but beating the temptation saying "yeah, Im good right now". And now you come out with this. Are you the devil on my shoulder? 😆

[keywal]

CachyOS caused me to stop distro hopping! I'm at a stage now where even if i try other distros i'm back with Cachy within a few hours.
It is by far the most satisfying distro i've ever used.
