These are the only distros I recommend for Linux power users
Quoting: These are the only 3 Linux distros I recommend to newcomers —
CachyOS is a performance-focused Arch-based distribution designed to squeeze maximum performance from modern hardware. It ships with a custom CachyOS kernel (based on the Linux kernel) and optimized packages that use advanced techniques like Link-Time Optimization (LTO) and Binary Optimization and Layout Tool (BOLT). It’s one of the best distros for gaming, and even comes with a dedicated graphical tool that can help you install and apply gaming-specific packages and optimizations.
This, combined with custom scheduling technology, delivers noticeably snappier performance and better multitasking. The distro specifically targets modern CPU architectures—x86-64v3, x86-64v4, and Zen4, which includes Intel Haswell CPUs or later and AMD Ryzen series processors.
Also, since it's built on Arch Linux, you get immediate access to bleeding-edge software updates as soon as developers release them. You also get access to the Arch User Repository (AUR), giving you access to close to 100,000 packages to install and tinker with. It also uses KDE Plasma by default, meaning you get unparalleled customization options over the desktop experience.
