How cachyos/cachyos-pkgbuilds works
CachyOS PKGBUILDS is a repository of Arch Linux package recipes, not a single application. A user chooses a package directory, builds it with makepkg, and installs the resulting archive with pacman. The tree shows broad package families spanning system foundations, desktop configuration, gaming and handheld support, and developer tools. The README documents the build-and-install steps; the sampled source files are package contents and do not establish further runtime wiring.
Main entry points: arch-install-scripts Base system · nvidia Kernel and drivers · dracut-cachyos Boot and initramfs · cachy-update System utilities
