alt Hacker News> features the optimized linux-cachyos kernel utilizing the advanced BORE Scheduler for unparalleled performance.
Never heard about BORE scheduler. It is an additional patch to the kernel ? How stable is this ?

Gaming distros trade stability and security for performance. IMHO they're only useful for FPS bragging rights. Most popular distros should already be performant enough for gaming purposes.
You could go into their wiki. It's linked from the page, and skim/skip over that installation stuff, until the chapters where they explain what they did to the kernel(s), how they compile and link optimized, schedulers, and stuff. It's not ultra-thourough, but gives a good overview.
I've settled on sched_ext: BPF scheduler "bpfland_1.0.18_g5bff813c_dirty_x86_64_unknown_linux_gnu" -powersave for processes, and let mq-deadline handle internal storage, and bfq anything connected via USB.
What do you mean by "stable"?
I have no idea how stable it is but it seems it's a scheduler that weighs processes based on burstiness?
