Cachy user here. Nope.
Anyone who says Cachy is good for a newcomer is taking their knowledge for granted. Most people getting into Linux for the first time are climbing several learning curves all at once. There are simpler distros that allow you to learn at a more reasonable pace.
The only time I would recommend CachyOS to a newcomer is if they have bleeding-edge hardware and aren't afraid of a challenge.
