Pretty sure that page is just number of people looking at it not actually installed popularity. While CachyOS is the currently hyped distro it isn't one a lot of people should be running. Ubuntu, Mint, and fedora all have more users than Cachy.

Yeah I've been meaning to check that out. It's been hitting my radar exponentially in the last few months, while 6 months ago I'd never even heard of it

Essentially it’s just Arch. Supposedly it makes games run faster, but I in all honesty see no difference at all after using it for a few weeks on my PC and Steam Deck. Your call if you want to give it a shot. https://distrosea.com/select/cachyos/
