I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about CachyOS recently. Has anyone here tried it? It seems interesting and I might give it a go (currently on EndeavourOS) on a spare drive in my PC.

    I’ll give that a go and see what it’s like, thanks! This seems like a stupid question, but I’ll ask anyway.

    What happens to my packages installed with the default repos on my system? Will they get changed to the CachyOS optimized version when I go to update or will they remain the same? My guess is that nothing will happen but I’m not certain.

      I just did this last night. I put the Cachy repo behind EOS but ahead of Arch. That keeps the look and feel as EOS but grabs optimized Arch packages from Cachy.

      If you are just adding Cachy repos to EOS, you have to install the Cachy kernel explicitly if you want it.

      There are not that many Cachy packages actually. Almost everything still comes from the Arch repos. The ones Cachy replaces make sense if you are expecting to juice performance ( including some NViDIA patches in the graphics stack ).
