"CachyOS is an Arch-based distribution. That alone should tell you something about this open-source OS. But, don't be scared away by its Arch-ness. Unlike Arch Linux, CachyOS does include two GUI app stores. Although one of the app stores might not be as modern as you might like, it's still better than having to open the terminal app and run a command like: sudo pacman -Sy libreoffice-fresh"
"Then there's Shelly, which is a sort of anime-themed app store that allows you to add AUR, Flatpak, and AppImage support. Shelly also allows you to handle updates without having to leave the GUI. Even though Shelly is more modern than the other included app stores, it's not quite on the level of KDE Discover or GNOME Software."
"CachyOS is a rolling-release distribution (as is Arch), which means it's more cutting-edge, so you'll always enjoy the most recently released stable software and frequent updates. CachyOS defaults to the KDE Plasma desktop environment,"
"it's important to know that they are different Linux distributions, even when you're using the same desktop environment (which is exactly what I did). The big question then becomes: Which one of these is the best option for you? Both of these operating systems can be installed and used for free."
CachyOS and MX Linux are popular Linux distributions that differ even when using the same desktop environment. CachyOS is Arch-based and uses a rolling-release model, providing recent stable software and frequent updates. It includes two GUI app stores, including Shelly, which supports adding AUR, Flatpak, and AppImage and allows updates through a graphical interface. Updates can be initiated from a panel icon that opens a terminal to run the update process with minimal user input. CachyOS defaults to KDE Plasma. Both operating systems can be installed and used for free, and both offer options for KDE Plasma while having different bases.
