Why is it so popular?

The quality of distro is defined by his cool their logo looks like she this one is not cool at all. Looks like Chinese gaming wheelchairs brand

tf is amd64-v3?

It has first class support for gaming, it makes proton/wine setup extremely easy. It uses a custom kernel with tweaks and out of tree enhancements to increase gaming performance.

All "gaming" distros are a fucking meme marketed to tech illiterates. There is nothing hard about setting up wine on arch. sudo pacman -S wine

>>106477264
>t. using outdated distro like gentoo or fedora

>>106477264
The Linux kernel is built for server workloads, unlike Windows which is optimized for client use. You need out of tree modules and tweaks to improve performance for gaming on Linux.

>>106477287
>Windows which is optimized for client use
Not anymore.
Unless you are talking about ltsc

>>106477287
>improve performance
Complete and utter fucking meme

unless i can play destiny 2 with it its useless, which it can't, thats titerally they only thing I do on my mini PC. My main PC I have windows 11 and I won't be installing any other OS on my main rig.

>>106477337
why? what are you scared of

>>106477337
>playing Destiny

>>106477374
its for when i need a break from other stuff, i maybe play it once every 2 or 3 weeks.

Does anyone apply Cachy patches to Gentoo? I read somewhere that Cachy uses Gentoo patches as it is.

>>106477363
its not that i'm scared its that I download games that need windows more then I just hit install. I play alot of games that you just download and double click to play, you can't just do that with linux distros, no you gotta go through fucking whine bullshit, oh also the last time I tried to use Blizzard app on arch linux it just didn't fucking work.

>>106477170 (OP)

why should i use this over bazzite

Why not play Parasite Eve 2?

>>106478811
Mutable and less RAM usage

>>106477385
I have applied them to my gentoo machine. there's a package for them in some overlay, that automatically applies all cachyos settings to gentoo, so it's pretty uncomplicated.

>>106479506
Have you noticed a difference? Does it make nvidia machines more performant?

>>106477170 (OP)
Not all of us are sodomites who play video games

>>106477211
basically a set of cpu instruction flags that are supported by relatively newer processors (maybe 12 years old not exactly sure). So it's more optimized than packages built using march=x86-64 (which is the arch default), although I'm guessing they still set mtune=x86-64 so all hardware is supported, just newer processors can get some more optimizations. I'm not too familiar so my wording may be wrong just have done that while cross-compiling.

>>106477264
>t. Retard
CachyOS has really nice performance tweaks across the entire system. I'm applying them but every now and then I find that I missed something. Unlike other gaming distros CachyOS really know what they're doing.

>>106478811
Bazzite now has shittiest performance across all distributions, including Ubuntu

it also has these things

>>106477170 (OP)
CachyOS is now the fastest distro after Intel shut down Clear Linux.

>>106479923
sweet freedom, 3%. Its much more important to have it compatible and smooth.

>>106479961
already has the lowest latency of the tested distros

>>106477170 (OP)
That distro sucks. It's broken and has bugs Arch doesn't have. It's literally Manjaro 2, even the logo is ugly like Manjaro's logo. Garbage meme distro that doesn't "mog" anything

>>106479979
not the distros fault that your shitty oc/uv is unstable.

Picnic problem.

>It's the user's fault my shitty distro doesn't work on their machines
In 5 years, everyone will tell others to stay away from your dumpsterfire of a distro

>>106480046
Arch/CachyOS isnt meant for sub 90 iq tards. Go back to windows.

just use the cachyos kernel on arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel

>>106477284
Fedora is bleeding edge. Arch doesn't offer an immutable distro or even a modern package manager that supports atomic commits. Arch is stuck in the past along with debian, and it was never good.

>>106480098
fedora is not bleeding edge you brainlet.

>>106480041

sure thing ranjesh, show some proof.

>fedora
if i wanted telemetry i'd just use windows

>>106480049
I use Arch. I tried CachyOS and it's a garbage piece of shit. Putting up with it's bugs is not worth it for a placebo. Like yeah wow they made the animation speed on KDE quick by default to trick retards into thinking it's faster than it actually is. Way to trick people into using a buggy OS with only like 2% performance increase at best

>>106480657
2% is huge THO

>>106477434
>blizzard in 2025
>destiny 2 in 2025
Its definitely a taste issue. I play on cachyos and every game i tried works fine out of the box.
Just to reference some: yakuza, helldivers, warframe. And that's to name just a few.
>it just works

>>106479537
You know that the gaming packages are optional, right? You only get em if you select it in the hello app. Its still a great and fast distro even for non gaming stuff

>>106480657
>arch elitist lies again
sad, you gain way more than 2% in specific tasks, if you have a cpu thats support avx/avx2/avx512. Even the biggest retards are able to use CachyOS without problems. Layer 8 Problem.

>>106477227
Installing steam on arch gives you the same shit

Manually installed arch with cachyos repos + kernel ftw.
>>106480030
2025 is the new 2005, pairing nvidia gpu with amd cpu makes the most sense again

This distro only appeared in the simulation last week. It'll be gone again shortly, like every other time this happens.

>>106479537
Its optimizations bring more performance to professional applications than gayming.

>>106480838
>fastest distro for every use case
Nah, its got way too much attention. Tech Channels/Outlets are praising it. Its over for Debian/Fedora Troons.

>>106479961
What compatibility CachyOS breaks compared to Arch?

>>106480898
Its the same shit, but arch elitist are mad that every retard can use their distro now.

What stops you from compiling your own kernel, retard? Oh wait you are underage and/or a techlet. Just buy a gaming console that's more suitable for people like you.

>>106477213
Is posting your KDE about page instead of neofetch next generation b8?

>*mogs you're distro"
*mogs your spelling."

I've installed this in a VM.
You can't log on on a Xorg session. No password works. Needed to switch to Wayland, then I could log on without password.
Couldn't get Limine to work.
Tried again with grub2 since I know it a little better.
Plymouth spazzed out and made the boot process hang indefinitely.
Edited grub2 boot / kernel parameters plymouth.enable=0 disablehooks=plymouth. Then the fuckface distro started to work.
Uninstalled all Plymouth packages.
It works now in my VM.
Inkscape started extremely fast even though it's a VM.
Conclusion: It's shit and cool at the same time.

Please don't tell me that it's made by troons (it probably is).

Still better than

>using a shady distro made by literally whos for 1% performance gains
I'll stick with Gentoo.

I tried out cachyos but gamescope was just completely unusable, I used the correct prefix but no games would launch. I used the gaming package they shill and aside from being full of garbage I don’t want it most of the shit in it didn’t work right, I also had all my apps get fucked up every 3 days forcing me to do the uninstall/reinstall nonsense, and frankly the daily updates requiring me to restart my computer got tiresome. The last straw for me was the constant fucking crashing, and it was the weirdest kind because you could still move the mouse but you couldn’t interact with the desktop at all. I tried asking for support but the most I got was

>why are you using gnome lmao

Yes, why am I using one of the official DEs that’s packed with the installer? Annoying children.

Ubuntu has problems sure but I never had issues like this. I just typed in “sudo apt install gamescope” and it installed and worked without issue.

>>106481918
The main CachyOS Dev is an Arch Dev as well.

>>106481926
Seems like you have hardware(ram) or disk issues.

>>106481955
I thought so too so I ran memtest86 but I didn’t have any issues, I thought it might be my expo settings so I disabled expo but that didn’t stop it either. I don’t have and hard drives in my computer but I did check disk health and my drives were all fine. Again, I never had these issues on Ubuntu, the worst I’d get is certain games like dragons dogma 2 or starfield would cause the Wayland session to crash but even that was pretty rare.

Maybe I just have a gremlin on one of my disks I dunno.

>>106481918
1% is huge THO

>>106481559
nta but the cachy kernel has a different patchset. i havent looked at it but it does swap out the scheduler. so its not just a simple compile of the arch or mainline kernel. im sure they have a pkgbuild of it on some git repo somewhere

>>106481993
If its not a hardware/firmware issue than maybe a Kernel regression. You could try the LTS Kernel if you want to test it again.

>>106481926
>Yes, why am I using one of the official DEs that’s packed with the installer? Annoying children.
that doesnt matter. one look at the gamescope repo shows that theres a bunch of issues with gamescope and using it on gnome requires some patches that are not officially shipped with gamescope yet. because gnome decided to be different from all the other desktops. gnome is the desktop that refused to implement DRM leasing for VR for a long time so steams documentation on getting VR working on gnome is to install KDE plasma and launch steam and vr through kde plasma.

>>106481792
Xorg, X11, Xserver ... IDK I am too retarded to know or care for the difference. The issue is documented in the CachyOS forum and it's the default choice after booting up the live iso. I am not the only one having this problem.

>>106481868
>>106481890
Yeah yeah maybe I am retarded or the daily iso was borked. Who knows why Gaymouth failed. I've used virtual box. Maybe that was my mistake.

Still beats THE APPLE EXPERIENCE!

>>106477170 (OP)
>arch, but with more instabilities and +0-3% performance increase
no, thanks.

>>106482175
You need to pass-through the Host CPU type to the VM for proper Hardware detection.

>>106482212
up to 3% is huge THO.

>>106482249
its not up to 3%, its up to double digit % in specific tasks.

that's nice but nobody cares what you, as sombody that already knows this, says. that anon and others itt on the other hand made an implication that X% was not worth it. i want to examine that. (they wont and i know it im just being a cunt.)

>>106479515
I use amd, but still. you won't see any performance gains, but only interactivity or lower latency, and very marginal improvements at that.

I do these micro optimizations out of fun rather than to improve performance. maybe my games feel smoother, but I don't know how much of that is placebo.

are there any good docs on the changes cachy makes for these performance increases other than some cherry picked fps benchmarks?

>>106482221
Yes actually it's mentioned in the wiki that usage in a VM is not recommended. But honestly I don't care at the moment. I might run it bare metal when I feel like playing around again.

Still beats THE APPLE EXPERIENCE!

>>106477170 (OP)
Manjaro is much better.

The performance increase is insignificant for v3 cpus, v4 cpus gain more but eh am4 is v3 and still the value king so

>>106480902
CachyOS is not even close to the same thing as Arch. The only similarity is that they both use pacman.

>>106480815
>you gain way more than 2% in specific tasks
Like what? What tasks?

>>106481641 (Me)
so iv been running this kernel for most of the day and every once in a while there is an odd noticeable multi-frame full-desktop delay that i cant really pin down. its mostly noticeable in firefox, either switching tabs or loading the thumbnails in the catalog. i also redid (on this install) the bits from linkrel at the same time so that could be related.

>>106477170 (OP)
I switched to endevour when i realized that catchy doesn't pre theme any desktops and I realized that all linux desktops look like shit by default.

i didnt do that clock bit at the top. i started after 10.2.

>>106485863
The thing with cachyos kernel is that it applies out of tree patches that can be buggy or have some unexpected sideeffects since they arent as well tested as linux mainline kernel. Its very bleeding edge even compared to archlinix

>>106481598
how is it bait
i don't have neofetch installed there's no use case
