EndeavourOS is just one of the best Arch Linux clones

Say CachyOS and Garuda Linux do have their own advantages different from EndeavourOS. See for instance https://www.phoronix.com/news/CachyOS-2024-Highlights |

I've tried most if not all of the Arch made easy distros and they're mostly not great. EOS is the best of the lot for me. Not much divergence from pure Arch, little bloat, and the only things from their repo are useful apps and artwork (too purple, but whatever). If I need to quickly expunge Windows from a new computer, EOS is first in line. I'm old enough to remember when Archbang was about it in terms of easier Arch. Now there are several, few of real value, to me at least. Manjaro, with its held updates sprung on users once or twice a month, is probably the worst. CachyOs is decent, though it is the only Arch descendant that's ever locked up hard on my gear (core i5, Intel graphics, other components chosen specifically for Linux compatibility). Garuda is a gaudy mess to my eyes, seemingly aimed at gamers and tweens. I for one will be happy when this whole dark theming frenzy dies. |

I've recently tested CachyOS 241221 on several workstations with top lined Ryzen CPUs, NVME SSDs and at least 16 GB of RAM.
The distribution includes the BORE task scheduler by default, optimized to reduce desktop latency and increase the priority of interactive processes. The kernel and packages are built with LTO (Link-Time Optimization) optimizations enabled and instructions available in processors based on the x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4 and Zen4 microarchitectures used. When building base packages, PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) or BOLT (Binary Optimization and Layout Tool) optimizations are additionally enabled. BORE (Burst-Oriented Response Enhancer) is enhanced versions of CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) and EEVDF (Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First) Linux schedulers. Developed with the aim of maintaining these schedulers' high performance while delivering resilient responsiveness to user input under as versatile load scenario as possible. I've never tested ArcoLinux on bare metal, just see for details https://www.youtube.com/@ErikDubois |
