In practice I've noticed very little difference between cachy & other distros in terms of performance.
I think it's mostly convenience & marketing. I've run most mainstream distros and cachy definitely worked "out of the box" for gaming. I don't think it's worth swapping for if you're already using Linux.
Nothing wrong with cachy, I just don't think there's any special magic I've noticed that sets it apart from arch.
