I’m using the Cachy Repositories on my Endeavour OS install and really happy with it, especially since you can tinker with your kernel and schedulers very easily.

I just installed CachyOS with the Cosmic Alpha DE on my laptop yesterday. All seems well. I haven’t had much time with it yet. Once I get it all set up as I’d like, I’ll share further experiences.

For those of you who have tried / are trying cachyos, there is an interesting benchmark on phoronix covering different Linuxes incl. Arch and Cachyos:
Interesting here is not that cachyos is fastest overall. Interesting is, that Arch linux is second and that cachyos is just ~ 1 % faster in average (page #5; 2284 vs. 2253 points). That tells me that all the optimizations in cachyos, all the concerns related to stability with -O3 or lto, do not pay off. cachyos is basically as fast as Arch Linux.

I have been testing it for about a week. it’s good but there’s no speed improvement at all, so it’s pointless for me. Maybe gamers have performance improvements
I’ll probably uninstall it because it keeps resetting my settings for system tray icon spacing back to default in Gnome with dash to panel. Also the browser is slower than regular firefox and has choppy scrolling on sites like google maps while zooming
agreed with everything you said. one day i will try it (catchy os) but i am sticking with EndeavourOS for life. just from looks alone IMO eos is wayyy sexxxier looking. from what others have posted, i can tell the speed thing is nonexistant. i love my purple linux. 
oh and i am still learning too… big time

I just reinstalled cachy on a spare partition after reading the wiki a bit more. It turns out it is slightly faster, it’s just that webgl is disabled by default on their browser. I enabled it and ran some speed tests and the results were the fastest I’ve ever gotten while testing any firefox based browser on any distro. Webgl being disabled was also causing sites like google maps to be unusable, now it’s fine
The speed difference is still not noticeable to me without running tests, but it did score slightly higher
Did you also set hardware acceleration enabled?
