I don't get it, CachyOS is probably improving performance in the low single digit percentages. Why are people so crazy about it?

CachyOS is a really good time to use.

Very sane defaults, no bloat, extremely easy snapper/btrfs/limine setup, a 1-click gaming setup button that gets everything you need ready to go.

I don't think it does much for gaming, as the video and article also point out, but even if it turns out to just be placebo - my old and creaking PC here feels more responsive than it did with Manjaro, Vanilla Arch and Garuda respectively.

Yeah, it always reminds me that I did a kernel benchmark for gaming a couple of years ago and the differences were within the margin of error. https://web.archive.org/web/20220602144244/https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/utfazn/results_for_the_kernel_benchmarks_in_gaming/

I tried a few Linux distros and Cachy has been the most painless so far.
