I think you're overreacting.

I see CachyOS as useful for those overclocker types wanting to get that extra percent performance gain, for their gaming PC, but would not suggest it for the newcomer Linux user as a daily driver. I think this article has this kind of message. Choose CachyOS if you want potentially unstable but performance optimized state of the art OS.

Today we really can't be sure, and I hate all the AI slop articles, so I'm hoping this one isn't that. At least it convinced me that it has an expert behind it.
