User Reviews

  • This distro IS not for newbies no Pacman GUI like manjaro
  • It's good but it still has some hiccups. I have issue with bluetooth being disabled by default, as well as the search engine website they made which threw 501 errors because it wasn't working for a day. Just keep things simpler and you've got a fan.
  • I have a plain Arch Linux install for some time on a Ryzen system with Nvidia. But I have upgraded the packages to v3 with the script on the cachyos website. I was sceptical but man this makes a fantastic difference. I have no doubt Cachyos wil be great too.
  • I am new to Linux Ive tried several other distros nobara,endovour os idk what you did but this distro is blazing fast compared to any distro like massively fast leaving the competition in the dust its so responsive and snappy All AMD system everything worked out of the box the gaming performance is amazing im done with windows keep up the good work
