You are wasting your life waiting for packages to compile. Stop it.
You think you're cool because you installed Arch manually? Congratulations, you know how to read a Wiki. Meanwhile, your CPU is sleeping because you're using generic binaries compiled for a toaster from 2008.
CachyOS is Arch, but for people who actually have shit to do.
We ran the benchmarks. We read the source.
The verdict is in: your current OS is hot garbage.
| Feature | CACHYOS The Absolute Chad | Stock Arch The Masochist Way | Ubuntu / Fedora The Bloated Way | Windows 11 Corporate Spyware |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU Scheduler | BORE Scheduler Predicts your moves. Zero stutter. Pure dominance. | Stock CFS Safe. Predictable. Dogshit slow. | Ancient Stock Optimized for servers, not your desktop. | Random Bullshit Windows Update gets priority over your game. |
| Binaries | x86-64-v3/v4 AVX2/AVX-512 unlocked. Free 10-20% performance. | Generic x86-64 Built for 2006-era potatoes. | Conservative Garbage Scared of modern instructions. | Closed-Source Slop Whatever Microsoft feels like giving you. |
| Filesystem | XFS / ZFS / BTRFS Pre-tuned for maximum speed and sanity. | DIY Nightmare Good luck with the wiki, genius. | EXT4 Default It works. Barely. | NTFS Trash Fragmented, slow, and proud of it. |
| Privacy | Ironclad We literally don't give a shit who you are. | Solid Standard Linux—no surprises. | Compromised Telemetry phoning home by default. | Laughable Recall AI spying on your screen 24/7. |
You don’t even know what AVX2 or AVX-512 does, do you? You just complain
your rig feels sluggish.
CachyOS recompiles everything to actually use the CPU you paid premium for
instead of babysitting 20-year-old fossils.
If your processor predates smartphones, get the fuck off this page.
It stands for Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer. It prioritizes the window you are actually looking at. Unlike the stock scheduler, which prioritizes some background systemd process that does literally nothing. Your mouse feels smoother. Your games stutter less. It's not magic, it's just better code.
"But real men use the CLI!"
Shut the fuck up.
It installs a fully optimized Arch system in 5 minutes with ZFS, Btrfs, or
whatever weird file system you claim to need. Then it installs the NVIDIA
drivers correctly. automatically. Go ahead, try to install NVIDIA drivers
manually on a hybrid laptop. See you in 3 days.
