A beginner-friendly walkthrough for installing CachyOS, a gaming-focused Arch-based Linux distribution, from creating a bootable USB with Ventoy to launching a game. Covers BIOS configuration, the Calamares installer options (bootloader, filesystem, desktop environment), post-install gaming setup via the built-in 'Apps and Tweaks' tool, package management with Pacman and Shelly, and an explanation of Proton for running Windows games. Demonstrates running The Finals at 1440p with 140 FPS out of the box on an AMD RX 950 XT system.
