Part of the Arch games, Well I don't exactly use Arch but it's A Arch based distro for Performance (Cachyos) and I love how they leverage cpu instructions

I've been on Nobara for a few years and have generally loved it. Lately I've been thinking about switching to Cachy.

I've just been a little annoyed with Fedora in general recently, and I am nervous that Nobara is not only based on Fedora, but also is maintained by only one person.

How has gaming been overall on CachyOS? Any issues with Steam, Proton, Lutris, or any other gaming-related software?

It doesn't come with any gaming apps (but can be installed manually or use their package that installs all the essentials). they also have a proton/wine fork and has patches related to gaming no issues there, and later after some updates(idk how it gets it) you will get LFX (Latencyflex) you can enable it with LFX=1 In environment variables in games and there was no issues at all in gaming (Note you can view cachyos as more of a performance distro rather then a gaming one) .
