Learned helplessness is an insidious foe, and one that market forces have tended to side with over the past 20 years (probably for far longer than that, but as I was a mere child back then I wouldn’t claim it with as much certainty).

From what I understand, it is the arch approach but with package binaries compiled to target newer hardware instead of the largest set of hardware. Their homepage claims they enable several performance-type optimizations in both the kernel and common system libraries. It’s not surprising to me that protondb, a repository of “how well can I get this game to run on Linux through proton?” reports, is studying an outsized proportion of users on CachyOS.
