CachyOS is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It focuses on speed and security optimisations - the default Linux kernel is heavily optimised using the BORE (Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer) scheduler, while the desktop packages are compiled with LTO and x86-64-v3 optimization, security flags and performance improvements. The available desktop environments and window managers include KDE Plasma, GNOME, Xfce, i3, bspwm, LXQt, Openbox, Wayfire and Cutefish. CachyOS also ships with both graphical and command-line installers and provides a Firefox-based browser (called Cachy-Browser) with some security enhancements and performance optimisations.
To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
Colour scheme:green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Had CachyOS installed on my main PC for about half year, I must admit that it is incredible fast and stable! I keep it rolling whenever there is updates available, and I rarely encountered major issue that would cause my system down.
I occasionally play some steam games on it, all are smooth without problem, some games even run better than Windows.
Wish there will be OpenRC version soon....
- PDS kernel would give smooth game play, BORE tends to have some frame spike for FPS game (when sudden encounter enemy in CSGO, for example).
- Liquorix kernel + CachyOS is my daily combo, PDS if going to play games.

As a seasoned Linux user and developer, I have had the pleasure of testing and working with a wide range of Linux distros over the years. Recently, I had the opportunity to try out CachyOS, a new distro that is quickly making a name for itself in the Linux community. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed.
CachyOS is the brainchild of Sir Lucjan, Odziom, ptr1337, and vnepogodin, and they have done an exceptional job in creating a fast and efficient Linux distro. The distro is based on Arch Linux and comes pre-installed with a variety of useful software, including a number of development tools and programming languages.
One of the standout features of CachyOS is its speed. The distro is lightning fast and responsive, even on older hardware. This is due in part to the fact that CachyOS is optimized for performance and comes with a minimalistic desktop environment that is both easy to use and easy on system resources.
In addition to its speed, CachyOS also comes with a number of other impressive features, such as an excellent package manager, a powerful terminal emulator, and robust security features. The distro also has excellent documentation and a supportive community that is always willing to help users with any issues they may encounter.
Overall, I must say that CachyOS is easily one of the best Linux distros I have had the pleasure of using. It is fast, reliable, and packed with useful features. If you are a developer or power user looking for a new distro to try out, I highly recommend giving CachyOS a try. You will not be disappointed!
