From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The repositories already contain pre-compiled packages. To install them, just add the repository before the Arch repos, and then simply reinstall the packages to install their optimised versions.
How can I trust them? At least with Arch there's the "many eyes" principle.
It's the same principle. Both CachyOS and ALHP are reasonably popular, and all their stuff is open for anyone to review - Cachy's stuff is all on Github and ALHP is on SomeGit.
never heard of them. I need to research a bit more until I activate what is basically another "dangerous" non-maintainer repository. Thank you a lot for your links and explanations!
