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.

It's cool so many people are going with arch based distros. I've been on vanilla arch and had nearly zero issues. I like the idea of the optimizations Cachy provides but I'm not certain how much of a difference that would make and if that'd be worth it. I suspect it's not a crazy large difference and therefore any flavor of arch including vanilla is probably sufficient, let alone all the successful distros that aren't arch based.
