The Performance Of Arch Linux Powered CachyOS

With the exception of the gaming benchmarks coming out well on CachyOS, in many of the workloads CachyOS didn't demonstrate any measurably better performance over fellow Arch Linux derivative EndeavourOS.

Intel's Clear Linux distribution was easily still the front-runner of the tested Linux distributions on this Raptor Lake desktop.

Of nearly 100 different tests executed (see this result file), Clear Linux was the fastest 54% of the time followed by CachyOS with wins 30% of the time.

But if taking the geometric mean of all those benchmarks, CachyOS performance overall was similar to that of Fedora / EndeavourOS / Ubuntu while Clear Linux maintained a ~6.5% advantage overall compared to those other Linux distributions.
