I switched from Manjaro to CachyOS and OMG! (discuss.online)

I first started using Manjaro after being on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives for years. Mint used to be my daily driver, then LMDE for a while. After struggling with Endeavour OS, through 2 or 3 breaking updates requiring a reinstall I made Manjaro with KDE Plasma my home for several years.

Manjaro was stable and, I thought blazing fast, compared to Mint. Everything just worked and was cutting edge. I thought my distro hopping days were over and I found the one that works for me.

Recently I've been reading about Cachy OS and decided to give it a whirl on my test Dell Latitude. Turns out that, I had no idea how fast and lean Linux could be on that off-lease business laptop! I know have it installed on my main Laptop and it's leaps and bounds faster than Manjaro, has none of the bloat and just works! I know it's early, but I think I have found a new home! I have timeshift set up just in case, so I'll see how stable it is over the next few months, but so far I am impressed.

Highly recommend everyone who's into Arch and rolling release to try it.

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
