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'm using it for quite some time now. It works better than other distros in terms of UI smoothness (I use GNOME and on an old machine), the included "fixes" commands in the Hello app are really useful. Though I can't benefit from the X86_64 V3 optimizations since my machine doesn't support it. The problem is that it broke 2 or 3 times in the last year. Some issues seem to be related to Flatpaks so I'd highly suggest avoiding them on this distro. They can do stuff up to breaking your file system (no jokes). So if you want a stable system, don't use Cachy. If you want a faster system no matter what, definitely try it. Some of the bugs can be already fixed but it hasn't been enough time for me to recommend the distro as a stable one
