I do not see any Penguindroid. I bet he is in the Server Room ?

Ah, that’s what he is. I thought he would remove his mask when you are alone. 
I mean Peter from Cachy is a trusty person for sure, he is also involved in ARCH maintaining now for some time.
Check changes on Nvidia to see that

Haha yes, I do trust the Cachy maintainers. I mean to say, them modifying some core packages so I don’t want to run into compatibility issues with packages that don’t come from Cachy. 
Still most of their package base is from Arch’s core and extra beside their own optimized repositories, so if there were any compatibility issues, they would notice it, wouldn’t they?

Not sure if you were responding to me testing the CachyOS kernel or not. If so, I don’t have the Cachy repo. I just ran across the CachyOS kernel in Chaotic AUR and thought I’d test it.
Seems a bit snappier in my usage. The past several days, I’ve been running the 6.14.2-1-cachyos kernel. And I must say that I’m noticing a difference even over Zen. A good difference. Responsiveness feels better. Even when rendering a 4K video in Kdenlive while listening to music on Audacious and having a bunch of tabs open in Librewolf. I quite like it.

so what did you do? add cachy only? or garuda and chaoctic as well?
Or did you just grab the kernel?
After I enabled Chaotic AUR, I searched kernels and saw the CachyOS ones. I just ran yay -S linux-cachyos linux-cachyos-headers. Quickly installed, rebooted, all is awesome.

I’ve been running Cachyos v3 repos on top of EOS ones for bit over a year now without any problems. I did try CachyOs but didnt really like some aspects of that distro. EOS hits all the marks needed for my use.
I have a bit of a niche use case. Alongside gaming, I need to run a lot of scientific burst-heavy tasks which on normal/zen kernels often caused degraded usability during those tasks. SCX loader and Cachyos-bore kernel solved those intermittent stutters.
I’m also big proponent of FAFO:
This kind of mucking about my installation and seeing what works (and what doesn’t) solves my OS tinkering itch And when it’s not enough I fire up my Gentoo box.

I attempted to try to install cachyos kernel from AUR but it was taking ages.
I tried as well to install cachyos from the ISO on a spare laptop and it was the same, taking ages,
I wonder if I need to try the cachyOS kernel on endeavourOS if I need to enable a specific repo first?
And what to do to be sure installing cachyos from the ISO (Ventoy) win’t take ages and will install normally.
I will appreciate any feed back from users whou actually could install and use cachyos kernel on EndeavourOS or install cachyos from the ISO.

@limotux, @xircon is right. After I followed the instructions for enabling the Chaotic AUR, the process for installing the CachyOS kernel was no different than installing the Zen, or mainline one. Pertty quick.
After all, the Chaotic AUR tagline is “Automated building repo for AUR packages. Building AUR packages for you, so you don’t have to!”
I tried to install CachyOS kernel once from AUR when I didn’t know Chaotic-AUR. It took ages to compile via yay. I cancelled it and never tried that again. Now I‘m using Chaotic-AUR and could give it another try. 
I’m pretty sure there’s a pre-compiled version on the straight AUR.
I’ll check that assumption. nope Bad assumption, just src

@DenalB, give it a shot if you’re curious. It takes a very short time to install. So far, I really like it.

I see then why @DenalB
I tried to install cachyos from AUR (the default that comes with EndeavourOS). I could see many kernels, some appear for me to be LTS kernels. I wonder if I selected the LTS one will I have it really LTS? But will need to really take ages to compile on my machine? (how long should it take on a 2 years old i3 processor?) Isn’t there any repo has it compiled already?
