It has first class support for gaming, it makes proton/wine setup extremely easy. It uses a custom kernel with tweaks and out of tree enhancements to increase gaming performance.

All "gaming" distros are a fucking meme marketed to tech illiterates. There is nothing hard about setting up wine on arch.

sudo pacman -S wine

>t. using outdated distro like gentoo or fedora

>>106477264
The Linux kernel is built for server workloads, unlike Windows which is optimized for client use. You need out of tree modules and tweaks to improve performance for gaming on Linux.

>>106477287
>Windows which is optimized for client use
Not anymore.
Unless you are talking about ltsc

>>106477287

Complete and utter fucking meme

unless i can play destiny 2 with it its useless, which it can't, thats titerally they only thing I do on my mini PC. My main PC I have windows 11 and I won't be installing any other OS on my main rig.

>>106477374
its for when i need a break from other stuff, i maybe play it once every 2 or 3 weeks.

Does anyone apply Cachy patches to Gentoo? I read somewhere that Cachy uses Gentoo patches as it is.

>>106477363
its not that i'm scared its that I download games that need windows more then I just hit install. I play alot of games that you just download and double click to play, you can't just do that with linux distros, no you gotta go through fucking whine bullshit, oh also the last time I tried to use Blizzard app on arch linux it just didn't fucking work.

I have applied them to my gentoo machine. there's a package for them in some overlay, that automatically applies all cachyos settings to gentoo, so it's pretty uncomplicated.

Have you noticed a difference? Does it make nvidia machines more performant?

>>106477211
basically a set of cpu instruction flags that are supported by relatively newer processors (maybe 12 years old not exactly sure). So it's more optimized than packages built using march=x86-64 (which is the arch default), although I'm guessing they still set mtune=x86-64 so all hardware is supported, just newer processors can get some more optimizations. I'm not too familiar so my wording may be wrong just have done that while cross-compiling.

>>106477264

CachyOS has really nice performance tweaks across the entire system. I'm applying them but every now and then I find that I missed something. Unlike other gaming distros CachyOS really know what they're doing.

Arch/CachyOS isnt meant for sub 90 iq tards. Go back to windows.

just use the cachyos kernel on arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel

>>106477284
Fedora is bleeding edge. Arch doesn't offer an immutable distro or even a modern package manager that supports atomic commits. Arch is stuck in the past along with debian, and it was never good.

I use Arch. I tried CachyOS and it's a garbage piece of shit. Putting up with it's bugs is not worth it for a placebo. Like yeah wow they made the animation speed on KDE quick by default to trick retards into thinking it's faster than it actually is. Way to trick people into using a buggy OS with only like 2% performance increase at best

Its definitely a taste issue. I play on cachyos and every game i tried works fine out of the box.
Just to reference some: yakuza, helldivers, warframe. And that's to name just a few.
>it just works

>>106479537
You know that the gaming packages are optional, right? You only get em if you select it in the hello app. Its still a great and fast distro even for non gaming stuff

>>106480657

sad, you gain way more than 2% in specific tasks, if you have a cpu thats support avx/avx2/avx512. Even the biggest retards are able to use CachyOS without problems. Layer 8 Problem.

>*mogs you're distro"
*mogs your spelling."

I've installed this in a VM.
You can't log on on a Xorg session. No password works. Needed to switch to Wayland, then I could log on without password.
Couldn't get Limine to work.
Tried again with grub2 since I know it a little better.
Plymouth spazzed out and made the boot process hang indefinitely.
Edited grub2 boot / kernel parameters plymouth.enable=0 disablehooks=plymouth. Then the fuckface distro started to work.
Uninstalled all Plymouth packages.
It works now in my VM.
Inkscape started extremely fast even though it's a VM.
Conclusion: It's shit and cool at the same time.

Please don't tell me that it's made by troons (it probably is).

Still better than

>using a shady distro made by literally whos for 1% performance gains
I'll stick with Gentoo.

I tried out cachyos but gamescope was just completely unusable, I used the correct prefix but no games would launch. I used the gaming package they shill and aside from being full of garbage I don’t want it most of the shit in it didn’t work right, I also had all my apps get fucked up every 3 days forcing me to do the uninstall/reinstall nonsense, and frankly the daily updates requiring me to restart my computer got tiresome. The last straw for me was the constant fucking crashing, and it was the weirdest kind because you could still move the mouse but you couldn’t interact with the desktop at all. I tried asking for support but the most I got was

>why are you using gnome lmao

Yes, why am I using one of the official DEs that’s packed with the installer? Annoying children.

Ubuntu has problems sure but I never had issues like this. I just typed in “sudo apt install gamescope” and it installed and worked without issue.

>>106481918
The main CachyOS Dev is an Arch Dev as well.

>>106481926
Seems like you have hardware(ram) or disk issues.

>>106481955
I thought so too so I ran memtest86 but I didn’t have any issues, I thought it might be my expo settings so I disabled expo but that didn’t stop it either. I don’t have and hard drives in my computer but I did check disk health and my drives were all fine. Again, I never had these issues on Ubuntu, the worst I’d get is certain games like dragons dogma 2 or starfield would cause the Wayland session to crash but even that was pretty rare.

Maybe I just have a gremlin on one of my disks I dunno.

>>106481918
1% is huge THO

>>106481559
nta but the cachy kernel has a different patchset. i havent looked at it but it does swap out the scheduler. so its not just a simple compile of the arch or mainline kernel. im sure they have a pkgbuild of it on some git repo somewhere

>>106481993
If its not a hardware/firmware issue than maybe a Kernel regression. You could try the LTS Kernel if you want to test it again.

>>106481926
>Yes, why am I using one of the official DEs that’s packed with the installer? Annoying children.
that doesnt matter. one look at the gamescope repo shows that theres a bunch of issues with gamescope and using it on gnome requires some patches that are not officially shipped with gamescope yet. because gnome decided to be different from all the other desktops. gnome is the desktop that refused to implement DRM leasing for VR for a long time so steams documentation on getting VR working on gnome is to install KDE plasma and launch steam and vr through kde plasma.

>>106479515
I use amd, but still. you won't see any performance gains, but only interactivity or lower latency, and very marginal improvements at that.

I do these micro optimizations out of fun rather than to improve performance. maybe my games feel smoother, but I don't know how much of that is placebo.

are there any good docs on the changes cachy makes for these performance increases other than some cherry picked fps benchmarks?

Manjaro is much better.

The performance increase is insignificant for v3 cpus, v4 cpus gain more but eh am4 is v3 and still the value king so

so iv been running this kernel for most of the day and every once in a while there is an odd noticeable multi-frame full-desktop delay that i cant really pin down. its mostly noticeable in firefox, either switching tabs or loading the thumbnails in the catalog. i also redid (on this install) the bits from linkrel at the same time so that could be related.
