CachyOS will make your computer FLY!
————————————————————
CachyOS is a high-performance, Arch-based Linux distribution designed for speed, responsiveness, and ease of use. It features heavily optimized packages, custom kernels (like BORE) for superior responsiveness, and a user-friendly installer, making it ideal for gaming, modern hardware, and users seeking a pre-tuned Arch experience.
Who is CachyOS For? CachyOS is suitable for both experienced Linux users who want an optimized system without manual configuration and beginners who want to use Arch Linux without the complex installation process.

Why choose CachyOS?
Simple – It’s FAST. Most Linux distributions ship generic binaries. CachyOS rebuilds the stack — from kernel to packages — with modern CPU optimizations, delivering measurable performance where it matters.
CPU-Optimized Package Repository
Every package is compiled with x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4, and Zen4 instruction sets plus LTO. Core packages receive additional PGO and BOLT optimization — no manual rebuilds required.
17+ Desktop Environments & Window Managers
Choose from KDE Plasma, GNOME, COSMIC, Hyprland, Sway, Niri, i3, XFCE, and more. Pick your preferred environment during installation — every option is fully supported out of the box.
Advanced Kernel with Scheduler Choice
The linux-cachyos kernel ships with a tuned scheduler for responsive interactivity, plus options for BORE, sched-ext, BMQ, and RT. All kernel builds are CPU-optimized with x86-64-v3/v4, Zen4 and LTO.
User-Friendly Tools and Customization
Automated Hardware Detection – CachyOS includes a custom hardware detection tool that automatically identifies and installs the necessary drivers and packages for your system. This eliminates the need for manual driver searching, saving you time and effort after installation.
Customizable Installation Process
The CachyOS installer lets users customize their system by choosing the desktop environment, packages, filesystem, boot manager, kernel, and more to fit their needs:
Desktop Environments
Boot Managers
Kernel Flavors
Filesystems
Custom Packages to include during installation
