After a couple of months, CachyOS has become my favorite Arch-based distro. I particularly appreciate the work they're doing to optimize Linux for performance, which is above and beyond what other distros attempt. And it's a good, friendly community (which most communities are, despite the reputations out there regarding Linux communities). I friggin' LOVE CachyOS!
Solus is the only other distro I can think that do such a thing as they use a lot of tweaks from Clear Linux to make the distro really performant & sometime in the near future they will rebase to SerpentOS & get their tweaks from that as well

I've heard the same thing with: - endeavor - manjaro - arcolinux Any Arch derivative really should establish what it does better than those 3 as soon as possible.
Literally read the website or watch the video, it's pretty clearly defined what the do different. > Optimization of kernel + packages > Custom packages in repos (+ some that they compile from aur) > QoL tools > Actually good defaults with installation Basically unlike what you mentioned, it's NOT just arch with a gui installer. We don't even speak about manjaro, that whole thing is a mess.
Seems to me that CachyOS is to Arch what TuxedoOS is to Ubuntu. Very nice! I'm still running Tumbleweed on the HP 8200 Elite SFF so I don't think I'd get the optimization benefits of CachyOS on that old machine but I might put CachyOS on my future AMD 7000 series build.
i used to use endeavour which was in my opinion really good but once i changed to cachy i realized its too good .i described it as arch on steroids so to see you title it as that in your thumbnail made my day😂😂. if aurora d1x dev version gets a window manager or any of the fedors spins get window managers like cosmic or hyprland imma run there cause can always run bazzite in a container and add the cachy os repo😊. .I use CACHY BTW🤓
@09:58 the default kernel also uses the BORE scheduler, it's stated in their Wiki: "The default kernel is our main recommendation in terms of scheduler choice and configuration. Currently, our default kernel is using the BORE/EEVDF scheduler as the default option, along with our base patchset. However, we also include the sched-ext framework, which enables switching to different schedulers at runtime."

I installed CachyOS on a 10 year old HP notebook (with Hyprland 0.42). Amazing performance so far. Fedora 40 (with Hyprland 0.39) is on my other PCs and is quite stable. However, if Cachy OS continues to impress...who knows? This is a worthwhile distro. Congrats to the developers.
If nvidia were truly smart they would make their own linux distro that keeps running perfectly on all their cards. Would not just pull all the linux gamers but also cryptominers which are somewhat important to them even if not as much as they used to be.
Maybe at some point but i dont think the time is right now as a business decision At some point also NVK will be good enough for most people so the prop drivers will only be used for production purposes or if someone wants to use cuda
Yeep I have been using for some months now (since february) on my recording studio workstation (and gaming machine). I simply love this distro, and their repos are fantastic.
Cachy provides good documentation and a good user friendly forum. For anyone just starting out these would be great. It's a far better experience than garuda, with their elitist and rude mods who think they're the pinnacle of tech and linux. Garuda is good but cachy is just better at everything
I've tried CachyOS and found it to be nice in general but I really didn't like Octopi. I'd rather use a more modern software center instead of something that looks like it time travelled right from the early 2000s.
Tried Bazzite, ChimeraOS, Tumbleweed and CachyOS. Unfortunately, RE4 remake started to crash lately for some reason on all OS, except for Bazzite...So, i'm currently on it, it's a really nice distro.

@linuxnext there's no S in between Cachy and OS. So it's just "Cachy OS". The way you are pronouncing it is like saying Macs Donalds instead of McDonalds or Arches Linux instead of Arch It's just "Cashy OS" (or "Catchy OS" or even "Kaki OS")... all are relatively valid but Cashy's OS is just triggering You're the only creator I've ever seen that calls it Cachy's OS Cachy isn't a person, there is no guy called Cachy. The creators are a guy called ptr1337 and another called vnepogodin . Cachy is actually derived from a Russian word meaning "shit", and it's a bit of a joke. Anyway, new sub to your channel. Keep up the content. But I had to close this video because I kept getting irrationally triggered by you calling it Cachys OS. I don't know why. I know that's really petty and childish but I just couldn't keep watching despite trying my best.
Just so you know about half of what the LLM talked about was wrong. so double check what it is talking about. example: BOLT: is talking about llvm-bolt, a binary optimizer. not what ever hallucination the LLM said. LTO and PGO have nothing to do with security or maintainability, its purely for performance.
I use Arcolinux with CachyOS Kernel (not repos). I really love Cachy, but it drain much battery on my laptop. Otherwise, Arco mantain good performance, velocity and battery.
I see you OBS...works well? Are you using DaVinci Resolve and if so...work well....easy to get up and running? I'm looking for a good Creator OS and CachyOS keeps coming up. I need something stable that doesn't break each time I update. Thanks
Cachy is a arch based distro, not rlly the most stable, but it's closets to stable in the arch realm I guess I'm not using DaVinci resolve because it doesn't support h.264 or hevc on Linux which is dumb, I use kdenlive instead And yes OBS studio works very well, I'm using the Flatpak version of OBS because that's the official version, not from arch repos
@@linuxnext This is what the Github is says Ananicy (ANother Auto NICe daemon) - is a shell daemon created to manage processes' IO and CPU priorities, with community-driven set of rules for popular applications (anyone may add their own rule via github's pull request mechanism).

All these distros coming out with custom kernels claiming to be optimized for this or that are starting to sound like those scam programs that claim to boost gaming performance or lower your latency and boost your internet speed. It all seems like wasted development time of trying to reinvent the wheel when instead this effort should be used to build up the main distro it's built upon. The Linux world needs less fragmentation and more consolidation of effort and progress.
@@linuxnext CachyOS is the smoothest Linux experience I've had tbh, it does a lot of tweaks by default and it does them right. It's not like it's automagically going to make your PC 200% faster but for a Linux distribution it does make things easier and smoother. Also, CachyOS had sched_ext support for a while now, scx_rusty and scx_lavd does amazing things.
Yes cachyos is pretty nice. I personally am a big fan of handheld edition. But what i hate about handheld edition is by default it intall systemd bootloader which i hate. I have to change it to grub manually. That is why i am still at garuda kde. They both are almost identical, there is not much difference except kernel management by cachyos.
Im ok with systemd as iv gotten used to how you add kernel paramters and such but i understand as i know a lot of people like grub I was gonna make a garuda review also as i enjoyed using it also, very very similar to cachy os like you said but sadly my recordings became corrupted so that video was scraped and thats when i decided to switched to cachy lol
@@sebastiangonzales46 systemd is new still under development and fast while grub is old with more functionality than systemd but slightly slower. But difference is minimal. However in my case in garuda kde distro grub is helping me restoring previous snapshot after i do something wierd causing my os to fail to boot and letting me add couple of extra words in kernel parameter which then boot into terminal(tty) instead of gui. Systemd bootloader can also do some of these things but grub is better.

I'm running cachy os and Ubuntu 24.04 on 2 separate nvme with i7-14700k and 7800xt and after testing I think cachy os is all hype because it's the new shiny distro. After testing in the games I play on cachy with stock kernel and bore kernel I get very good performance, but it's almost identical to Ubuntu 24.04 with stock kernel actually I get a bit better performance on Ubuntu, but if I install liquorix kernel and mesa kisak ppa Ubuntu blows cachy OS out of the water in the games I play I don't know what liquorix did to there kernel, but damn, it works. And before somebody says yeah but the 1% low yeah I tested that to and Ubuntu wins on my hardware the only thing cachy os wins at it's newest version of packages. On nvidia I tested on another system Cachy os beats Ubuntu but on amd gpu no
There is probably more fun with Zen 4 and Zen 5 on CachyOS thanks to better scheduling (or less scheduling problems) and the Zen-4-binaries they ship that use AVX-512 and other modern instructions. I have a 14700KF myself, but found CachyOS to be 10-15 % slower than Windows 11 in the games I used as benchmark (Total War: Troy and CP 2077). CachyOS was faster usually with my older Haswell-EP system than Windows. So I think this might be that Linux in general is not that well optimized for newer Intel desktop chips with P/E-cores.
I've tried it and, well, for various reasons, I just don't find it at all enjoyable or comfortable to use. For now, nothing has surpassed the KDE Plasma spin of Manjaro for me. I know, people seem to think Manjaro is unstable somehow but, well... I have yet to see it. Been using it for years and I've yet to see it be unstable or unfixable in case of a major issue with an update going wrong. Which, as I might remind people... would also occur on CachyOS. Since, well, that too is Arch based and therefore uses the Arch repositories. Where the problem would originate to begin with.
they do use there own repos so they can delay said problem, but manjaro is fine for most cases and provides a nice gui and updates for certain use cases, idk if i can trust manjaro is the problem for me for their past experiences, i used manjaro for a month and it worked great just the issues and community are not for me said issues in the past 1. Package Signing Debacle (2019): Manjaro faced criticism for not properly implementing package signing, which led to security vulnerabilities being introduced into their system repositories. This issue made many users question the safety of using Manjaro. 2. Upgrade Issues and Broken Packages (2020): During a major upgrade cycle, some users reported experiencing issues with broken packages, missing dependencies, or even complete system failures. These problems were largely due to an incorrect implementation of package manager interactions. manjaro may be good today but for me ima be waiting for manjaro to regain their trust for the past issues
i once had a break in grub with it - within an update (no response, even trying other tty's, ssh in nothing) had to reset it then grubs inits gone.. took a live cd image on a ventoy stick boot up, ident blkid the partitions on the PC, mnt it, archchroot into it repair grub config, mkinitcpio ... reboot (all in CLI) and deleted the pacman's db.lock and was fine after it. So even for beginners such a case is needed to know about and have guilde's for it. Which aren't really in one Threat ... so searching skill is needed as well for beginners.
Thanks for the video. I should point out, though, that the answers the LLM gave for Ananicy Cpp, bpftune, and profile-sync-daemon were completely wrong.

If you want a fedora base, nobara. If you want an Arch base, CachyOS. There's really not much different past that. I use cachyos but that's because I prefer paru to dnf
either, comes down to personal things like package managers or the aur etc, when it comes to performance they would be basically identical, one updates faster tho which is cachy but nobara is not far behind and it uses mesa git for gaming which is the newest master version of mesa built at the time the maintainers of nobara build it for you, so you may get newer features and improvements for your amd card buut i havent noticed much from using it for the past year. if it was me i would use bazzite as it offers a lot of features like it being immutable and if something goes wrong you can jump to the 2 image that you automatically have backed up bazzite.gg/

It depends on certain factors, such as the capabilities of your CPU. Preferably, your CPU should support AVX2 as one plus of CachyOS are the x86-64-v3 repos. If you have an even older CPU, it wouldn't matter much which Arch-derivative you use as they all would use the standard repos without any newer architecture-specific optimizations anyway. I've also reported a bug when using Haswell-Xeons as these really need the CPU performance governor which is no longer the default for a couple of months. The default behavior now optimizes for powersaving which means huge performance regressions due to inverse turbo behavior. This change didn't affect modern AMD CPUs that much, but older Intel CPUs might suffer. I can't tell if your CPU is affected though, but this can be solved via a custom Kernel or through other less invasive means.
@@seylaw my CPU is sandy bridge which doesn't have the 'Intel Turbo Boost Technology' i've noticed that in my current KDE Ubuntu based setup Power Profiles don't work and report 'placeholder' as cpu freq drivers, but when i tried Fedora Budgie Power Profiles were supported and Powerprofilesctl normally reported intel_pstate as driver. so i'm still confused as to whether it's a bug in KDE or the distro is the problem
@DrNutrijorge probably because its immutable, works a bit different and has to check more of the system then what a arch system would do It also has to create new images when a update happens so that could be why it boots slower sometimes

Lovely video and detailed as always! It would be interesting if they showed some benchmarks compared to other distros (Arch, Garuda, Manjaro) etc. to prove the perfomance benefit.
I ran this distro for ~6 months until I started having issues with some mesa-git packages that weren't playing nice and after rolling back my performance went downhill. It's a really nice distro, however I couldn't notice and major differences in performance compared to arch for my use cases and also archinstall is amazing. Definitely a distro to keep an eye out for, but not quite a daily distro tbh.
CachyOS has been what I've been running for a month now. I absolutely love it and I love base Arch. But with CachyOS, I don't have to worry about a lot of the initial setup I have to do with base Arch (which I love). With CachyOS, it helps automate a lot of the "manual" stuff you have to do with base Arch, but still gives you the flexibility of what Arch is all about. I haven't seen any major improvements from base Arch, but what I was looking for was more of the guided installer (even though I consider myself a power user of Linux since I've been using it since the 1990s) and not having to do a lot of the initial setup manually and get the OS up and running quickly. CachyOS provides the best of base Arch but with a faster, automated install process that works.
I would use Cachy but the repos are not as complete as Arch, so you may need to add the Arch repos to it or you could add the Cachy repos to Arch and install an optimised kernel
@@thelord58 if you tried to use gamemode/gamemoderun and there was an existing rule for the game in their ananicy-cpp rules, they might have been clashing. it's generally not recommended to use gamemode on Cachy, ananicy-cpp is just better, gamemode is old fashioned

@@linuxnext That was my response. He doesn't seem to understand not everyone wants to setup arch from scratch all the time and Cachy isn't even a "gaming" distro so not sure why he thinks so. Cachy team markets it as a performance distro.
@@bradmiles1984 yep these Elite arch users are getting mad when a distro that is based of arch is easy to use and install, when they spend a whole day installing arch manually through the manual lol Most People dont have time for that, if users install arch manually then good for them, but you shouldn't be bashing people for not wanting to do it at first, and you can install arch through archinstall script so theres that also to skip the manual process There is almost no point in doing that just to get a flex out of doing it manually or wanting EVERYTHING to be configured to your liking
Ah c'mon. Arch IS easy now that there's an installer. KDE Plasma with Wayland or X11 on Arch is all you need. I dunno if this is a hot take, but there are too many distros already, especially Arch based distros. Everybody that's working on these Arch-based distros would better spend their time working on Arch and optimizing it instead of piggy backing on it to make their own thing that they'll eventually stop updating because people are using Endeavour or Garuda or any number of these things. There are too many to choose from and if you're really interested in Linux(especially Arch), you're interested in customization, so every distro that a seasoned Linux user uses, inevitably becomes indistinguishable from any other distro. Make it make sense.
Of course, i have installed and used vanilla arch with its archinstall cli, works great, but if you want new users to get into linux you cant shove a cli in there face at first, these distros get these new users their foot in the door so they can learn the basics of linux then install vanilla arch with that installer like i did this video shows how good this distro is and it has become already popular in the linux distro space with many people expressing their experience with this distro so i needed to try it, iv used garuda and endeavour aswell, they are all great distros to get into linux. if arch had a gui for installing vanilla arch then this would solve having to suggest these arch based distros for new users before they get comfortable with everything so they can go the archinstall route And yes these developers should be contributing to arch instead of maintaining their own distro but maybe they dont want to, thats their decision
@@linuxnext I agree. In order for people to learn how to ride a motorcycle, they must replace all the motorcycle controls like handlebars, twist throttle, and foot shifter with car ones they're already familiar with like a steering wheel, gas and break pedals, and an automatic transmission. And maybe add another rear wheel so they don't have to worry about balance. This modified motorcycle is an excellent way for people to get into motorcycles. After a year of driving this modified motorcycle, they will be able to jump on any motorcycle without these modifications and ride off.
Artix is justified, as it makes installing/using other init systems easier and has a bunch of options and script integrations for supported packages to be ported over. Other than that, virtually every Arch distro feels like a waste of time trying to capitalise off making arch "easier to use", which in my opinion, defeats the purpose of the bleeding edge "experimental" nature of arch. This "Cachy os" especially confuses me, claiming optimisations when there's already a dozen optimized kernels like liquorix already floating around Arch and the AUR. Truly, if its not something which needs some advanced ecosystem of integrations within its own distribution/installation, why not just shove it in the AUR or a pacman repo and call it a day?
@@linuxnext actually the cachy developers have tried to contribute many things to arch but arch doesn't accept a lot of it, the main devs share their frustration with arch devs on the discord server regularly

After a couple of months, CachyOS has become my favorite Arch-based distro. I particularly appreciate the work they're doing to optimize Linux for performance, which is above and beyond what other distros attempt. And it's a good, friendly community (which most communities are, despite the reputations out there regarding Linux communities). I friggin' LOVE CachyOS!
Solus is the only other distro I can think that do such a thing as they use a lot of tweaks from Clear Linux to make the distro really performant & sometime in the near future they will rebase to SerpentOS & get their tweaks from that as well
to me cachy just feels snappy. i tried manjaro, garuda and endeavor, those felt pretty similar. then came cachy and instantly it just felt fast
I'm very comfortable in Debian ecosystem, but even I know Arch environment is getting more popular by the day.
@@Flavor_Flav Same for me and Arch or Arch based always have update errors is my experience.

I've heard the same thing with:
- endeavor
- manjaro
- arcolinux
Any Arch derivative really should establish what it does better than those 3 as soon as possible.
Fair enough
Cachyos differentiates itself from endeavouros by being super performance optimized with custom kernels and patched packages
manjaro is coal
Literally read the website or watch the video, it's pretty clearly defined what the do different.
> Optimization of kernel + packages
> Custom packages in repos (+ some that they compile from aur)
> QoL tools
> Actually good defaults with installation
Basically unlike what you mentioned, it's NOT just arch with a gui installer. We don't even speak about manjaro, that whole thing is a mess.
Seems to me that CachyOS is to Arch what TuxedoOS is to Ubuntu. Very nice! I'm still running Tumbleweed on the HP 8200 Elite SFF so I don't think I'd get the optimization benefits of CachyOS on that old machine but I might put CachyOS on my future AMD 7000 series build.
great video man im stuck bouncing between cachyos and nobara cant decide which one to settle on, keep up the good work
i used to use endeavour which was in my opinion really good but once i changed to cachy i realized its too good .i described it as arch on steroids so to see you title it as that in your thumbnail made my day😂😂. if aurora d1x dev version gets a window manager or any of the fedors spins get window managers like cosmic or hyprland imma run there cause can always run bazzite in a container and add the cachy os repo😊. .I use CACHY BTW🤓

@09:58 the default kernel also uses the BORE scheduler, it's stated in their Wiki: "The default kernel is our main recommendation in terms of scheduler choice and configuration. Currently, our default kernel is using the BORE/EEVDF scheduler as the default option, along with our base patchset. However, we also include the sched-ext framework, which enables switching to different schedulers at runtime."

No its alright, i saw your comment then added it to the pin for future users who see what i said wrong in the video :P

I installed CachyOS on a 10 year old HP notebook (with Hyprland 0.42). Amazing performance so far. Fedora 40 (with Hyprland 0.39) is on my other PCs and is quite stable. However, if Cachy OS continues to impress...who knows? This is a worthwhile distro. Congrats to the developers.
More weird as fuck to keep having such old garbage laying around instead of brag bruh.. 😂
If nvidia were truly smart they would make their own linux distro that keeps running perfectly on all their cards. Would not just pull all the linux gamers but also cryptominers which are somewhat important to them even if not as much as they used to be.
Maybe at some point but i dont think the time is right now as a business decision
At some point also NVK will be good enough for most people so the prop drivers will only be used for production purposes or if someone wants to use cuda
Yeep I have been using for some months now (since february) on my recording studio workstation (and gaming machine). I simply love this distro, and their repos are fantastic.
Just curious, why do you keep saying Cachy's OS like it belongs to someone named Cachy?
Cachy is my best friend :)
Cachy provides good documentation and a good user friendly forum. For anyone just starting out these would be great. It's a far better experience than garuda, with their elitist and rude mods who think they're the pinnacle of tech and linux. Garuda is good but cachy is just better at everything
I’m about to say something sacrilegious. Arch is easy… if you know how to use archinstall properly.
If Garuda craps out on the gaming rig, I'll definitely give CachyOS a go. 👍🏻
I've tried CachyOS and found it to be nice in general but I really didn't like Octopi. I'd rather use a more modern software center instead of something that looks like it time travelled right from the early 2000s.
you don't have to use octopi, it just comes preinstalled instead of things like discover because they struggle with dependencies on arch based distros
Tried Bazzite, ChimeraOS, Tumbleweed and CachyOS. Unfortunately, RE4 remake started to crash lately for some reason on all OS, except for Bazzite...So, i'm currently on it, it's a really nice distro.
@@b.s.4478 if i didnt want the latest updates and the aur i would be using bazzite, if i get a small pc or rebuild my second pc ill just use bazzite for it as i love its immutable style and i use flatpak so there isnt a issue with using it
Why do you keep calling it Cachy's OS. That's not it's name lol
Ok pronounce it properly for me
I know people are saying cachy os and i said cachys os a couple of times
@linuxnext there's no S in between Cachy and OS. So it's just "Cachy OS". The way you are pronouncing it is like saying Macs Donalds instead of McDonalds or Arches Linux instead of Arch
It's just "Cashy OS" (or "Catchy OS" or even "Kaki OS")... all are relatively valid but Cashy's OS is just triggering
You're the only creator I've ever seen that calls it Cachy's OS
Cachy isn't a person, there is no guy called Cachy. The creators are a guy called ptr1337 and another called vnepogodin . Cachy is actually derived from a Russian word meaning "shit", and it's a bit of a joke.
Anyway, new sub to your channel. Keep up the content. But I had to close this video because I kept getting irrationally triggered by you calling it Cachys OS. I don't know why. I know that's really petty and childish but I just couldn't keep watching despite trying my best.
Just so you know about half of what the LLM talked about was wrong. so double check what it is talking about.
example:
BOLT: is talking about llvm-bolt, a binary optimizer. not what ever hallucination the LLM said.
LTO and PGO have nothing to do with security or maintainability, its purely for performance.
yes and if your not blind then you should have seen the pinned comment about the correct version but i guess you didnt see it :)
I was using EndeavorOS in the past and had performance problem with ETS 2 and ATS. Now I'm thinking about CachyOS but it is worth?
If your game is working fine now then i dont see why you need to move to cachy so i would say no its not worth the time
octopi is the arch AUR gui tool, if you dont like command line use it

Cachy is a arch based distro, not rlly the most stable, but it's closets to stable in the arch realm I guess
I'm not using DaVinci resolve because it doesn't support h.264 or hevc on Linux which is dumb, I use kdenlive instead

The answers from Llama are not really good. For ananicy-cpp it's completely wrong.
Ok whats the correct version then please
@@linuxnext This is what the Github is says
Ananicy (ANother Auto NICe daemon) - is a shell daemon created to manage processes' IO and CPU priorities, with community-driven set of rules for popular applications (anyone may add their own rule via github's pull request mechanism). It's mainly for desktop usage.
I just wanted a tool for auto set programs nice in my system, i.e.:
Why do I get lag, while compiling kernel and playing games?
Why does dropbox client eat all my IO?
Why does torrent/dc client make my laptop run slower?
Based on that seems like it adjusts cpu priority based on the ruleset things like giving games highest priority for CPU and making sure low priority apps aren't getting high use of cpu. At least that is what I'm getting from the description but I could be wrong?
@@linuxnext the time you used to type out this comment could have been spent typing "ananicy-cpp" into a search engine
> Ananicy (ANother Auto NICe daemon) - is a shell daemon created to manage processes' IO and CPU priorities, [...]
The `-cpp` version is a rewrite in C++, while the original was written in Python.
Please don't use LLMs for stuff like this, they'll confidently completely fabricate answers.
All these distros coming out with custom kernels claiming to be optimized for this or that are starting to sound like those scam programs that claim to boost gaming performance or lower your latency and boost your internet speed. It all seems like wasted development time of trying to reinvent the wheel when instead this effort should be used to build up the main distro it's built upon. The Linux world needs less fragmentation and more consolidation of effort and progress.
@@CitiesForYou yeah i agree, when sched_ext gets merged and LAVD scheduler gets merged into the kernel then these distros wont rlly matter anymore
@@linuxnext CachyOS is the smoothest Linux experience I've had tbh, it does a lot of tweaks by default and it does them right. It's not like it's automagically going to make your PC 200% faster but for a Linux distribution it does make things easier and smoother. Also, CachyOS had sched_ext support for a while now, scx_rusty and scx_lavd does amazing things.

Yes cachyos is pretty nice. I personally am a big fan of handheld edition. But what i hate about handheld edition is by default it intall systemd bootloader which i hate. I have to change it to grub manually.
That is why i am still at garuda kde. They both are almost identical, there is not much difference except kernel management by cachyos.
Im ok with systemd as iv gotten used to how you add kernel paramters and such but i understand as i know a lot of people like grub
I was gonna make a garuda review also as i enjoyed using it also, very very similar to cachy os like you said but sadly my recordings became corrupted so that video was scraped and thats when i decided to switched to cachy lol
What are the differences between grub and systemd bootloader?
@@sebastiangonzales46 systemd is new still under development and fast while grub is old with more functionality than systemd but slightly slower. But difference is minimal. However in my case in garuda kde distro grub is helping me restoring previous snapshot after i do something wierd causing my os to fail to boot and letting me add couple of extra words in kernel parameter which then boot into terminal(tty) instead of gui.
Systemd bootloader can also do some of these things but grub is better.

I'm running cachy os and Ubuntu 24.04 on 2 separate nvme with i7-14700k and 7800xt and after testing I think cachy os is all hype because it's the new shiny distro.
After testing in the games I play on cachy with stock kernel and bore kernel I get very good performance, but it's almost identical to Ubuntu 24.04 with stock kernel actually I get a bit better performance on Ubuntu, but if I install liquorix kernel and mesa kisak ppa Ubuntu blows cachy OS out of the water in the games I play I don't know what liquorix did to there kernel, but damn, it works.
And before somebody says yeah but the 1% low yeah I tested that to and Ubuntu wins on my hardware the only thing cachy os wins at it's newest version of packages.
On nvidia I tested on another system Cachy os beats Ubuntu but on amd gpu no
There is probably more fun with Zen 4 and Zen 5 on CachyOS thanks to better scheduling (or less scheduling problems) and the Zen-4-binaries they ship that use AVX-512 and other modern instructions. I have a 14700KF myself, but found CachyOS to be 10-15 % slower than Windows 11 in the games I used as benchmark (Total War: Troy and CP 2077). CachyOS was faster usually with my older Haswell-EP system than Windows. So I think this might be that Linux in general is not that well optimized for newer Intel desktop chips with P/E-cores.
@seylaw yep i have heard those p and e cores do have worse performance usually on linux which is a shame, hopefully intel improves it more
I've tried it and, well, for various reasons, I just don't find it at all enjoyable or comfortable to use. For now, nothing has surpassed the KDE Plasma spin of Manjaro for me. I know, people seem to think Manjaro is unstable somehow but, well... I have yet to see it. Been using it for years and I've yet to see it be unstable or unfixable in case of a major issue with an update going wrong.
Which, as I might remind people... would also occur on CachyOS. Since, well, that too is Arch based and therefore uses the Arch repositories. Where the problem would originate to begin with.
they do use there own repos so they can delay said problem, but manjaro is fine for most cases and provides a nice gui and updates for certain use cases, idk if i can trust manjaro is the problem for me for their past experiences, i used manjaro for a month and it worked great just the issues and community are not for me
said issues in the past
1. Package Signing Debacle (2019): Manjaro faced criticism for not properly implementing package signing, which led to security vulnerabilities being introduced into their system repositories. This issue made many users question the safety of using Manjaro.
2. Upgrade Issues and Broken Packages (2020): During a major upgrade cycle, some users reported experiencing issues with broken packages, missing dependencies, or even complete system failures. These problems were largely due to an incorrect implementation of package manager interactions.
manjaro may be good today but for me ima be waiting for manjaro to regain their trust for the past issues

So even for beginners such a case is needed to know about and have guilde's for it.
Which aren't really in one Threat ... so searching skill is needed as well for beginners.

Thanks for the video. I should point out, though, that the answers the LLM gave for Ananicy Cpp, bpftune, and profile-sync-daemon were completely wrong.
Yeah i guess llama is sometimes out of date or doesn't understand what im asking it for
edit: is this correct?
ANANICY CPP
ananicy-cpp - daemon that automatically adjusts the nice levels of processes.
ananicy-cpp-rules - list of rules used to assign specific nice values to specific processes.
PROFILE-SYNC-DAEMON
profile-sync-daemon (psd) is a tiny pseudo-daemon designed to manage browser profile(s) in tmpfs and to periodically sync back to the physical disc (HDD/SSD). This is accomplished by an innovative use of rsync to maintain synchronization between a tmpfs copy and media-bound backup of the browser profile(s). Additionally, psd features several crash recovery features.
The design goals and benefits of psd are:
Transparent user experience
Reduced wear to physical drives
Speed
BPFTUNE
bpftune aims to provide lightweight, always-on auto-tuning of system behaviour. The key benefit it provides are
by using BPF observability features, we can continuously monitor and adjust system behaviour
because we can observe system behaviour at a fine grain (rather than using coarse system-wide stats), we can tune at a finer grain too (individual socket policies, individual device policies etc)
@@linuxnext That looks much better, but really, I would just use the description from those projects' homepages since they are completely accurate and straightforward descriptions of what the project is about.

I already reinstalled vanilla arch today as i dont see the point in using cachy but for new users it can be a dream, the features they provide was pretty simple also, if you cant understand that then welp do your own research about it, im just showing my experience, what the distro provides that makes it unique, its up to you to decide if you want to use this distro, if not thats fine, idc ngl
the first feature i explained was just about compiling packages, which most users dont care about and i dont rlly either, then the repos they provide over the top of cachy which means you may get faster updates then normal arch, then cachy backports packages like example they backported screen tearing for wayland when that patch isnt ready till plasma 6.2 and kernel 6.12.
they have a wide variety of kernels to choose from depending on your hardware in their repos, and if you want a different scheduler like the BORE scheduler which can improve games or certain heavy application tasks you can easily get it through their gui which is also a nice thing to have for new users as normal arch doesnt provide that out of the gate
@@linuxnext i didn't mean that as a dig against you, just a suggestion. i'm not much of a linux veteran either, i grew up on it since i was a kid, but i've only recently come back to it in the past 6 months, using Zorin OS.

Nah mate nixos is the best
Whats nix os update schedule for things like the kernel and mesa?
Nobara or cachy Os for gaming? which is better? my system is all team red.
If you want a fedora base, nobara. If you want an Arch base, CachyOS. There's really not much different past that. I use cachyos but that's because I prefer paru to dnf
either, comes down to personal things like package managers or the aur etc, when it comes to performance they would be basically identical, one updates faster tho which is cachy but nobara is not far behind and it uses mesa git for gaming which is the newest master version of mesa built at the time the maintainers of nobara build it for you, so you may get newer features and improvements for your amd card buut i havent noticed much from using it for the past year.
if it was me i would use bazzite as it offers a lot of features like it being immutable and if something goes wrong you can jump to the 2 image that you automatically have backed up
bazzite.gg/
CachyOS... but do whatever you want. I feel like the CachyOS maintainers is more on point with their stuff, Nobara is getting a bit too much for GE to handle.

@@yacinekcl fair enough, budgie is slowly updating its desktop so good choice for the hardware you have
It depends on certain factors, such as the capabilities of your CPU. Preferably, your CPU should support AVX2 as one plus of CachyOS are the x86-64-v3 repos. If you have an even older CPU, it wouldn't matter much which Arch-derivative you use as they all would use the standard repos without any newer architecture-specific optimizations anyway. I've also reported a bug when using Haswell-Xeons as these really need the CPU performance governor which is no longer the default for a couple of months. The default behavior now optimizes for powersaving which means huge performance regressions due to inverse turbo behavior. This change didn't affect modern AMD CPUs that much, but older Intel CPUs might suffer. I can't tell if your CPU is affected though, but this can be solved via a custom Kernel or through other less invasive means.
@@seylaw my CPU is sandy bridge which doesn't have the 'Intel Turbo Boost Technology' i've noticed that in my current KDE Ubuntu based setup Power Profiles don't work and report 'placeholder' as cpu freq drivers, but when i tried Fedora Budgie Power Profiles were supported and Powerprofilesctl normally reported intel_pstate as driver. so i'm still confused as to whether it's a bug in KDE or the distro is the problem

It also has to create new images when a update happens so that could be why it boots slower sometimes
Does Cashy install a version of OBS that has the essentials like application audio capture? Only Nobara does this and I have been unable to find any other distro where it works but Nobara has broken or failed or looping updates very regularly
@@SecretlySeven i have never used that plugin so unsure, i use flatpak obs, what plugin is this called exactly?
@@linuxnext Problem with flatpack is it puts OBS somewhere no one can find to place the plugins folder. Don't understand the plugin just exists in OBS Windows installs. "PipeWire Audio Capture 1.1.5" is the specific name. It's essential because when using desktop audio when you adjust your headphone volume it effects your games volume in your recording.
@@SecretlySeven flatpak plugins are in .var if your using system flatpak
.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugins/
And this plugin supports flatpak
You extract it to that directory then give it the right permissions
flatpak run --filesystem=xdg-run/pipewire-0 com.obsproject.Studio or run flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-run/pipewire-0 com.obsproject.Studio
Its currently also trying to be upstreamed to obs by default

Lovely video and detailed as always! It would be interesting if they showed some benchmarks compared to other distros (Arch, Garuda, Manjaro) etc. to prove the perfomance benefit.
I have a video idea for that lol, so that will come at some point
@@linuxnextcan’t wait to see them
Also take a look at A1RM4X videos, he does this alot
I ran this distro for ~6 months until I started having issues with some mesa-git packages that weren't playing nice and after rolling back my performance went downhill. It's a really nice distro, however I couldn't notice and major differences in performance compared to arch for my use cases and also archinstall is amazing.
Definitely a distro to keep an eye out for, but not quite a daily distro tbh.
yeah myself im running vanilla arch thanks to archinstall lol
CachyOS has been what I've been running for a month now. I absolutely love it and I love base Arch. But with CachyOS, I don't have to worry about a lot of the initial setup I have to do with base Arch (which I love). With CachyOS, it helps automate a lot of the "manual" stuff you have to do with base Arch, but still gives you the flexibility of what Arch is all about. I haven't seen any major improvements from base Arch, but what I was looking for was more of the guided installer (even though I consider myself a power user of Linux since I've been using it since the 1990s) and not having to do a lot of the initial setup manually and get the OS up and running quickly. CachyOS provides the best of base Arch but with a faster, automated install process that works.
I would use Cachy but the repos are not as complete as Arch, so you may need to add the Arch repos to it or you could add the Cachy repos to Arch and install an optimised kernel
The arch repos are already there for you
tried to use it some time ago
it was shit 😭
Lol, maybe give it a go again, cachy is still new and they have evolved quite a lot
@@linuxnext i'll wait a little more to be sure.
I had bad performance in my games and that got me kinda mad
@@thelord58 if you tried to use gamemode/gamemoderun and there was an existing rule for the game in their ananicy-cpp rules, they might have been clashing. it's generally not recommended to use gamemode on Cachy, ananicy-cpp is just better, gamemode is old fashioned
Wow, another generic gaming distro that tries to make Linux easy for gamers by burying everything in bloated GUIs. Will gamers ever "git gud" at using Linux? They have no issues doing the same by dumping thousands of hours into videogames, so learning Linux should be no issue for them. Luke Smith is right about gamers.
@@iiisaac1312 lol
@@linuxnext That was my response. He doesn't seem to understand not everyone wants to setup arch from scratch all the time and Cachy isn't even a "gaming" distro so not sure why he thinks so. Cachy team markets it as a performance distro.
Dude, what? I think you really should get your facts right.
@@bradmiles1984 yep these Elite arch users are getting mad when a distro that is based of arch is easy to use and install, when they spend a whole day installing arch manually through the manual lol
Most People dont have time for that, if users install arch manually then good for them, but you shouldn't be bashing people for not wanting to do it at first, and you can install arch through archinstall script so theres that also to skip the manual process
There is almost no point in doing that just to get a flex out of doing it manually or wanting EVERYTHING to be configured to your liking
Do you just have this in a text file you copy and paste into all videos like this 😂
Ah c'mon. Arch IS easy now that there's an installer. KDE Plasma with Wayland or X11 on Arch is all you need. I dunno if this is a hot take, but there are too many distros already, especially Arch based distros. Everybody that's working on these Arch-based distros would better spend their time working on Arch and optimizing it instead of piggy backing on it to make their own thing that they'll eventually stop updating because people are using Endeavour or Garuda or any number of these things. There are too many to choose from and if you're really interested in Linux(especially Arch), you're interested in customization, so every distro that a seasoned Linux user uses, inevitably becomes indistinguishable from any other distro. Make it make sense.
Of course, i have installed and used vanilla arch with its archinstall cli, works great, but if you want new users to get into linux you cant shove a cli in there face at first, these distros get these new users their foot in the door so they can learn the basics of linux then install vanilla arch with that installer like i did
this video shows how good this distro is and it has become already popular in the linux distro space with many people expressing their experience with this distro so i needed to try it, iv used garuda and endeavour aswell, they are all great distros to get into linux.
if arch had a gui for installing vanilla arch then this would solve having to suggest these arch based distros for new users before they get comfortable with everything so they can go the archinstall route
And yes these developers should be contributing to arch instead of maintaining their own distro but maybe they dont want to, thats their decision
@@linuxnext I agree. In order for people to learn how to ride a motorcycle, they must replace all the motorcycle controls like handlebars, twist throttle, and foot shifter with car ones they're already familiar with like a steering wheel, gas and break pedals, and an automatic transmission. And maybe add another rear wheel so they don't have to worry about balance. This modified motorcycle is an excellent way for people to get into motorcycles. After a year of driving this modified motorcycle, they will be able to jump on any motorcycle without these modifications and ride off.
Artix is justified, as it makes installing/using other init systems easier and has a bunch of options and script integrations for supported packages to be ported over.
Other than that, virtually every Arch distro feels like a waste of time trying to capitalise off making arch "easier to use", which in my opinion, defeats the purpose of the bleeding edge "experimental" nature of arch. This "Cachy os" especially confuses me, claiming optimisations when there's already a dozen optimized kernels like liquorix already floating around Arch and the AUR. Truly, if its not something which needs some advanced ecosystem of integrations within its own distribution/installation, why not just shove it in the AUR or a pacman repo and call it a day?
@@HelloworldXY32 great points here.
@@linuxnext actually the cachy developers have tried to contribute many things to arch but arch doesn't accept a lot of it, the main devs share their frustration with arch devs on the discord server regularly
