I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s genuinely so good. Before this I was using EndeavourOS which was also a great distro, but I realized that I was basically putting in work to do things CachyOS does out of the box, so I switched and it’s been great.

Nvidia 575 beta drivers fix the freezing issues with gamescope.
Also, the performance hit on Nvidia is only in DX12 games. Vulkan, OpenGL, and DX11 (and older DX) all perform similarly to windows.
Roughly on par with windows except in DX12 games where there is a 20ish% performance hit. Nvidia finally officially acknowledged the issue recently, so there should be a fix in the future.
Vulkan, OpenGL, and DX11 (or older DX) games all work without issue.
Well, I started using their repos for their x86-64-v3 optimized packages and builds of popular packages from the AUR. Later I started using their kernel because it pulls in upcoming features and is compiled with optimizations like ThinLTO and AutoFDO and has a more advanced scheduler. I also like how Cachyos comes with things like zram pre-enabled and scripts for things like zink and NGX. It’s basically just a ton of small things like that, some that I don’t even know about yet, that makes CachyOS really nice and easy to use.
