From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I added the repos to my existing arch install sometime last year I think. It's pretty seamless in that regard, I think I only ran into a mirror sync issue once, and it was resolved a few hours later.
My CPU supports the v4 packages, but I'm not really sure how much benefit there is for most things. (And things like tf/torch aren't coming from the repos anyways.)
I also use their kernel. I can feel a difference between stock and zen or stock and cachyos, but I don't think I'd be able to tell zen and cachyos apart tbh.
I definitely wouldn't switch distros for it, but since it's a trivial, drop in repo, I'll keep using it.
Adding another organization isn't ideal trust-wise of course.
