I have never heard of Cachyos until this comment.
It's very popular to the point where multiple other distros are starting to offer its patched kernel on their distro. It's very focused on gaming performance, particularly around Steam and Proton.
Their proton ran BL4 about 10% faster than Valves for my specific hardware. IDK what they are doing but it might as well be magic.
Cachy is the most popular distro on distrowatch. Has been for a month or more. That’s a good place to get the list of current distros.
