There is literally nothing about Cachy's construct that would support what you're saying. It's a distro made with tiny tweaks here and there, but nothing that would make a night and day difference the way you're describing.
Would love to get some stats and hard facts about your experience though.
v3 and v4 optimized packages are a big improvement over default arch
10% benchmark difference
free performance for just changing from arch's repos to cachy's? im thinking based.
I didn't find any difference between CachyOS and EndeavourOS on a newer Intel chip. COS was a bit bloated for my likings. Ended up sticking with EOS.
While I don't have much in a way of hard data, it feels much snappier. Also, it seems to utilize less ram. I believe the difference lies in the Cachy's repo. A lot of the apps I use daily are not installable from Manjaro repos and so I had to use flatpaks and AppImages. AUR was also a hit or miss for me. Catchy, on the other hand had most of the apps I use in it's repo. Things like Tutanota desktop client and Zen browser as an example.
Ignore the downer replying to you. If you found something that works well for you, then great!
it feels much snappier
their default KDE desktop has got animation speeds set to much higher than default values.
i love Cachy! The performance tweaks are nice, but what I really like is the Cachy repositories and how quickly they're updated, and how useful they are!
I am finding that out too. much better than Manjaro's repos.
I'm on Cachy for a long time and I have to tell that it may be unstable at times (up to file system breakage). Be ready for that if you want to use it.
It the breakage happens, hopefully Timeshift will save me. That's the best thing that I learned while running EndeavourOS.
Out of curiosity, what made Endeavor hard? After distro hopping since the mid-90s, I had been happily running bare Arch for the past couple, with Artix on one laptop; I got a new desktop and installed Endeavor on it, and it's been great. I mean, it's Arch, it just wasn't as fussy to install, but I don't really notice a difference.
Of course, I'm not running a desktop; just herbstluftwm, and that smooths out a lot of the differences, but there's far less difference between raw-dog Arch and EndeavorOS than between Arch and Artix.
within 6 months running it as a desktop OS with KDE it broke twice during update to the point that it was easier to reinstall than to fix. it maybe better a a barebones setup, but as a desktop, I had issues with it.
