Man, this distro really blew up. I remember around 2 years ago hearing about it for the first time, and then was like “oh maaaaan, not another arch/endeavourOS/Garuda/manjaro”. Anyway, it’s been my main distro for around 2 years now and I’m never going anywhere. lol

I’ve thought the same until recently. Clearly not a flavor of the week and here to stay for a long while. Which is great in Linux land.

I just did the Steam monthly hardware survey. Linux was just shy of 4% and CachyOS was the largest Linux distro. I thought the exact same thing as you. It went viral in the Linux community quickly.

I was all in on Antergos until it died as a project. CachyOS really fills that void for me along with having a bunch of benefits like performance-tuned compilations

I also didn’t have faith when it launched. But well done, they have proven themselves and the system they created.
