What Linux Operating Systems do you like?

[Mr_Orange]

I'm really enjoying CachyOS. Arch based, Nvidia works out of the box, very optimised (including compiled binaries for newer processors, etc). I like it.

Is CatchyOS like EOS in that it's just Arch with good defaults i.e. Uses Arch repos?

Similar yeah. It has its own repos which essentially take the Arch repos and recompile with the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 instruction set and LTO to provide higher performance. It's super easy to install, has baked in tools for updating and package and kernel management, etc. Details here: https://wiki.cachyos.org/cachyos_basic/why_cachyos/

I had been a using Fedora 40 until I came across this and I've been using Cachy ever since. https://cachyos.org/

CachyOS continues to be a fascinating Arch Linux based distribution that pushes the boundaries of out-of-the-box performance with a variety of patches, optimization techniques, specialized package builds, and more. One of the latest areas they are exploring is making use of AutoFDO for their kernel builds.
