It adds a fancy installer and it’s own kernel and some other things. But that doesn’t make it less arch.
So I gave an example from the other direction: if you take your arch and apply all the things that cachy does extra, it will still be arch.
I think the key here is the word “distro”/“distribution”.
If you take your arch and change the way software is distributed to it, by lets say uninstalling pacman and installing apt (and modifying everything else that’s related to this change so it works properly) then it would become debian.
https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-patches says otherwise
You can install the cachy kernel on plain arch.
True but the wrong claim was that Cachy is merely a fancy installer for regular Arch.
No I think the claim was: Cachy IS arch.

So not merely a fancy installer for Arch. Thanks for proving me right.
can’t you also install snaps on Debian?
