Why cachy
Here’s his reasoning from the article:
I installed Cachy recently too and I really like it, after using Mint and Arch for several months (and many others previously).
What really are these magical "optmizations" besides installing the default packages available on every distro?
In practice I've noticed very little difference between cachy & other distros in terms of performance.
I think it's mostly convenience & marketing. I've run most mainstream distros and cachy definitely worked "out of the box" for gaming. I don't think it's worth swapping for if you're already using Linux.
Nothing wrong with cachy, I just don't think there's any special magic I've noticed that sets it apart from arch.
