Who is this person? Why does their opinion matter? Why are they writing about FOSS on a Billionaire’s Typewriter? Who is their audience? Why are they so concerned about recommending a corporate backed distros over a hobby distro made for hobby users?
Me personally, I use CachyOS on my gaming computer after bouncing from popOS to Fedora to Arch to Bazzite. Cachy provides a familiar foundation while more of my games work without issues, it provides nice quality of life Arch utilities, and gives me a mutable distro to tinker with when I need to.
Is it perfect for everyone? No. Is it going through a hype-cycle? Yes. If Cachy ends up becoming unstable or insecure on my system, can I switch? Easily.

It’s really weird to me to see a hot-dropped random blog post heavily upvoted with no discussion. Even if the blog matches the poster’s opinion, we should be careful in 2026 that we’re sharing genuine information with each other and not corporate propaganda or LLM slop posts.
