It's an arch installer that has its own set of optimized kernels id you want them, but also has a great kernel manager so you can pick different optimized ones or defaults or even hardened options. Plus it does BTRFS w/ snapshots set up for you, which helps deal with the Arch ecosystem's rate of updating
yeah CachyOS is a fantastic introduction to Arch. It's by far my favourite distro and I recommend it for new users. If I don't feel like doing an arch install, I just install CachyOS. always have an up to date ISO of it on my ventoy.
