CachyOS


Last Update: 2024-11-10 16:51 UTC


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, x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4, Zen 4 optimization, security flags and performance improvements. The available desktop environments and window managers include KDE, GNOME, Xfce, i3wm, Wayfire, LXQt, OpenBox, Cinnamon, UKUI, LXDE, MATE, Budgie, Qtile, Hyprland and Sway. 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.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 11 (710), 6 months: 9 (926), 3 months: 7 (1,086), 4 weeks: 6 (1,209), 1 week: 5 (1,482)

Average visitor rating: 8.82/10 from 67 review(s).

  • 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.

The word that keeps coming to mind is "optimized." CachyOS runs as well on my N4020 netbook (yes including KDE!) as it does on my 12th gen chipset. It's also one of the few distros that has some customization: Fish shell, fastfetch in the default profile, etc., but overall doesn't change the look and feel of the system, which is nice. I would rather have some mods to functionality than the appearance mega-distro-ified. It's snappy and fast on a variety of machines; I've been using it a couple months now and it's my go-to recommendation for an Arch-based distro!

We have been trying to get a distro which can be customized for 2 specific tasks Machine Learning and casual Gaming. Then we came across Cachy os on Distrowatch tried this for few days on a seperate partition for a few days and then came across sced-ext scheduler config. Again tried this for few days in conjunction with Porproton and a suitable kernel and wow that we were amazed. from 25 to 30 fps the system went to 50-110 fps on gaming and our ML tasks take 3/4 the time now. Great for scientific works and gaming. Must try along with Mint or debian in dual boot env. it runs on 2 of our systems TUF gaming 15 and Nitro 15. KDE Plasma 6.2.2 wayland and some ML based customizations. it simply is beautiful and blazing fast. Wish some more teaks and more people to use it to make it more popular as we feel it is arch on steroids.

I've tried a few distros over the years, but kept coming back to Windows for gaming. But the Copilot spyware they are ramrodding through, despite massive backlash, finally pushed me to seek a permanent replacement. I researched for several weeks before landing on CachyOS and it's been amazing. I'd toyed with the idea of getting Bazzite or ChimeraOS since I mainly game, but also wanted the ability to do other things like document editing, web browsing, etc. I also looked at Arch, PopOS, Linux Mint and Garuda, but I'd tried most of them over the years and I heard really good things about gaming on CachyOS so I decided to give it a whirl. It's now been four months and I think I've dual-booted into Windows twice, just to update drivers and it's actually felt like it's no longer home. CachyOS is now my home. Steam runs great. Almost every game runs flawlessly. Cider works great for Apple Music, Brave works great as my browser. Discord works, Signal works, VLC media player works, NordVPN works... I don't think I'll ever go back.
