It’s the year of Linux on my desktop.

Windows is getting worse, while gaming on Linux is getting better. I’m gonna move my desktop to CachyOS. Wish me luck.

    What really are these magical “optmizations” besides installing the default packages available on every distro?

      There’s a bunch of gaming/performance settings out of the box ranging from custom helper scripts to ananicy-cpp kernel scheduling tweaks and more. Here’s CachyOS’s page on the “tweaks” they have: https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/cachyos_settings/

      They also include an easy to use kernel manager that gives users a lot of options for kernel customization: https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/kernel_manager/ (I may have spent some amount of time borking my system with it… repeatedly 😅)

      And they have package repositories that are optimized for newer hardware like Zen4/5 and AVX512 instruction sets: https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/optimized_repos/

      I’ve been using Cachy for a while now and it’s been great for gaming. I don’t use it for much else tho. As a sysadmin by trade, I do like the support for ZFS on root (which varies between other distros). Although it was a bit tricky to set up, now it’s running smoothly and my snapshots/backups are working great.
