honestly if they do this I will slap it on my server. I love CachyOS, it's a great and solid distro and by far the best Arch fork out there. I've never had issues with it and while sure the install is probably the longest out of all the distros I've used it's still great. Very solid team behind it.

As long you keep it updated. I left my machine powered off for 8 months and came back to being impossible to update it because the repo was missing library updates from months prior... I could never figure it out, and just nuked the install with bazzitte.
Had the same experience with EndeavourOS. Also switched to bazzite and haven't looked back. There was a slight learning curve, but once you figure it out, you can do pretty much anything you want to/on it.
Why would you want it? Especially for a server. If you can just use Arch. The installation part takes 5 minutes, if you’re not doing it the very first time. My very gist Arch server is about 6 years now, no need to reinstall, always updated.
Why would I want Arch when I can use CachyOS? Defaults matter.
