The following is from the CachyOS homepage:
CachyOS is designed to deliver lightning-fast speeds and stability, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable computing experience every time you use it. Whether you’re a seasoned Linux user or just starting out, CachyOS is the ideal choice for those looking for a powerful, customizable and blazingly fast operating system.
This block of text tells me nothing. No information can be extracted from this. I know exactly as much about CachyOS after reading this than I did before. The litmus test for this is seeing if another, different project would deny any claim made by the offending text.
Here is the pitch for the Operating System CachyOS contrasts itself with:
NotCachyOS is designed to deliver crawling-slow lag and instability, ensuring a rough and miserable computing experience every time you use it. Whether you’re a seasoned Linux user or just starting out, NotCachyOS is the ideal choice for those looking for a heavily restricted and extremely slow operating system.
CachyOS does have legitimate benefits and selling points, kernel-level fine tuning for speed being the main one, and it does describe them later on in the page, which makes the lack of information in their introduction even more confusing to me. This introduction could be written in a way that tells me what makes it different:
CachyOS is designed for speed by optimizing its core packages with BORE scheduling and LTO that drastically increase performance. Harnessing the full power of modern machines. Its GUI live-images will make using CachyOS enjoyable for all types of linux users, beginner or experienced, looking for a preformant and customizable operating system.
This is still marketing-copy, using description as a mechanism for advertisement, but it is geared towards people who would actually want to use CachyOS, it tells someone why they would want to use the operating system by showing how it is different from other ones.
