    CachyOS claims performance improvement by compiling its packages with CPU-family-specific optimizations. Okay, but most games are not CPU bound, and even those that are mostly spend their CPU time in game code, not distro package-provided code.

    CachyOS claims interactivity improvement by using the BORE scheduler. Okay, but that’s unlikely to help games unless you’re running other tasks that compete for CPU time while you play.

    So for most gamers, I wouldn’t expect CachyOS to offer much improvement in either area.

      seems to be specific games, kingdom come deliverance (the original) stuttered & hitched badly on other distros, but cachy was 👌

        If you post your system specs and the distros that had that problem, it might help someone else who runs into the same thing. Or it might even hint at a cause more specific than “wasn’t running CachyOS”.
