It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

I have to admit, installing Cachy was annoying for me. It couldn't deal with my Windows partitions or something. After I wiped my SSD completely, it worked.
Learning Linux stuff was a bit confusing too, but expected. Installer was a headache I did not expect.
(Disabling SecureBoot in BIOS was also a bit of trial and error)
