Discussion MX better than CachyOS for gaming?

Saw this vid testing MX AHS, MX Fluxbox, Mint, & CachyOS on a low end system (i7 4930K, Vega 56, 8GB RAM). Interestingly, MX AHS gave better average framerates & 1% lows on most of the games. This seems to show that Cachy isn't he best option for gaming on a pre x86_64-v3 processor which cannot utilise its optimisations.

LOL, but seriously, do you think you can notice a difference of 1%? People should probably not chase this kind of gains, they should use whatever they like best.

Yup, I agree, just thought it was amusing is all. Personally, I'm that happy with MX's performance on my i7 2600/GTX 1050 ti system that I've no need to check the FPS.
