It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

CachyOS is awesome. I just switched a few months ago after the praises from SomeOrdinaryGamer. I also wanted to use hyprland again after using plasma for sometime. It's amazing that Cachy lets me use the hyprland DE, but also has libraries to let me run kde software without the need for plasma.

Which distribution doesn't allow to run KDE software on non-KDE desktops? How would this even be possible?
