From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been seeing a lot of talk about CachyOS recently. Has anyone here tried it? It seems interesting and I might give it a go (currently on EndeavourOS) on a spare drive in my PC.

You could just use CachyOS packages on EndeavourOS. https://wiki.cachyos.org/cachyos_repositories/how_to_add_cachyos_repo/

Benefits from optimizations without reinstalling the whole OS!

I'll give that a go and see what it's like, thanks! This seems like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.

What happens to my packages installed with the default repos on my system? Will they get changed to the CachyOS optimized version when I go to update or will they remain the same? My guess is that nothing will happen but I'm not certain.

It gets replaced with CachyOS optimized version because it will set the repo priority higher.
