CachyOS


Last Update: 2024-12-21 15:58 UTC

CachyOS is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It focuses on speed and security optimisations - the default Linux kernel is heavily optimised using the BORE (Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer) scheduler, while the desktop packages are compiled with LTO, x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4, Zen 4 optimization, security flags and performance improvements. The available desktop environments and window managers include KDE, GNOME, Xfce, i3wm, Wayfire, LXQt, OpenBox, Cinnamon, UKUI, LXDE, MATE, Budgie, Qtile, Hyprland and Sway. CachyOS also ships with both graphical and command-line installers and provides a Firefox-based browser (called Cachy-Browser) with some security enhancements and performance optimisations.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 9 (933), 6 months: 5 (1,241), 3 months: 4 (1,516), 4 weeks: 2 (1,970), 1 week: 3 (2,065)

Average visitor rating: 8.51/10 from 74 review(s).

  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 I installed it several times to give it a fair shake. Although it does have a pleasant, intuitive interface, it has a few slight issues that need to be addressed. For example, when i open app finder, it sometimes hangs up, and does not load anything. It has a slight lag, feels slower than other distros like manjaro or zorin on the same machine. At the end of the day, as a current windows user, I ask does it meet the test of intuitive, easy to use - does it work consistently enough to be a reliable desktop environment - can it replace my windows - and most importantly do i feel compelled to keep it installed on my machine? In my case no.

 I've used Cachy now for about 6 months without issue and can tell you that it is nothing short of amazing. Decided to try Cachy on an old laptop and was very impressed with the speed and stability, so much so, that it is now the only OS I use; even on my daily driver (this says a lot since I've been a Fedora user since 2006). Installation process was smooth and quick. Documentation was very good. Only issue I had was Bluetooth didn't work initially and I had to enable it via terminal but that about 5 minutes of research to find a fix and less than a minute to do, so all in all not a big deal.

 Well, at least I gave this a try. I had one disaster after another using CachyOS- my bootloader was broken numerous times throughout my use- I have a Windows 10 install and it made sure to make that uncountable (I still need Windows for some things). This distro was pretty bloated with way too many apps, some of which do the same thing- so that's definitely unnecessary. Boot time was pretty slow, it took a few minutes if it would even fully go through booting tot he desktop- I had to force shutdown my computer numerous times and it was a 50/50 chance it would boot to the desktop or not. It could not recognize my printer or wifi card, good thing I have ethernet as a backup, but that was slow too. There is a bit of RAM usage with no programs open, which slowed down the system. There were some crashes and any workarounds from "helpful" users in the forum proved to be a blatant lie, and would mess up something else in the distro- making this overall not trustworthy to use and a pain trying to fix anything thaty is broken.
