CachyOS is an Arch-based rolling distribution built around performance: a tuned kernel, packages compiled for modern x86-64 (v3 and up), LTO, optional schedulers. The Discord and the forums already argue about BORE versus EEVDF. They should not have to argue about a Broadcom card. We install their current ISO on current name-brand hardware. You get pacman, their repos, their kernel, and a machine that already suspends and associates with Wi-Fi. You do not get a mystery chassis soldered together overseas. When a hinge fails, you call the manufacturer. Default desktop in that community is KDE Plasma. GNOME, COSMIC, Hyprland-adjacent setups, Xfce, and the rest of our desktop list are available on the product page. If you need a window manager we do not list, call — if we can install it and stand behind the radios, we will. ## Who this is for - CachyOS people who want that kernel on a Lenovo, Dell, or Asus, not a white box - Arch users who like the CachyOS repos and would rather skip OEM firmware weekend - Anyone who wants a rolling, fast laptop OS with a warranty that exists in the world - People comparing CachyOS to Fedora or Bazzite who still want name-brand parts ## How we install it On the product page, set Linux Distribution to CachyOS. KDE Plasma is the usual desktop; GNOME and the others are there. We install current CachyOS at configuration time on the CPU in that chassis. The catalog is current Intel and AMD notebooks. That matches what CachyOS wants (modern x86-64). If you are looking at an older machine, call first. Same dual-boot add-on as every other distro: partition the drive, BIOS boot menu, CachyOS on one side. Pick a laptop on [the shop](https://thelinuxlaptop.com/products/) . Set Linux Distribution to **CachyOS**. Desktop defaults to KDE Plasma if you want the usual setup for this distro. A Linux engineer installs, configures, and tests the machine. It ships UPS Ground, typically 3–5 business days, tracking emailed before it leaves. ## Other distros we install Ubuntu LTS is the shop default. These pages cover the distros people pick on the product page. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, MX Linux, Solus, Nobara, and LMDE are still available on the product page.
