What does it mean when four articles(blogs) post glowing reviews of an OS that you've never ever heard of, despite having been neck deep in Linux for decades?
It means that CachyOS is spamming the fuck out of the blogs in an attempt at guerrilla marketing.
ll I can say is, stop trying to make CashyOS happen. It's not going to happen.
P.S. That shit looks like Windows XP, the Fisher Price OS FFS.

Apparently it's an Arch-based distro for gamers. I don't have any problem with it.

There do appear to be a suspicious number of "influencers" dropping the CashyOS name.
However, if it's a choice between the perpetual dominance of Windows, and CashyOS and whatever marketing spend they have finally causing Linux to break out and capture significant normy desktops, I go with the latter.

Never say never. You can never predict the precipitating event that causes a downfall. Look at Intel. Look at Kodak. Look at Xerox. Look at RCA. Look at GM (now pretty much recovered, but still a shadow of its glory days). The latest W11 requirements for "better" machines is colliding with the reality of increasing machine prices due to ai buying all the memory. Being able to use that old machine with Linux may be the precipitating event.
