This is the best summary I could come up with:

CachyOS, a customizable Linux distribution based on Arch Linux, has a new release available which brings with it an experimental edition for the growing list of PC gaming handhelds like the ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion GO, MSI Claw and coming soon to Steam Deck too.

The Deckify Edition automatically setups a Steam Deck like experience and installs all required Gaming Tools for it.

We are also proud to announce that this version will use the LAVD Scheduler, which is funded by Valve and improves the Frametime and 1% lows on Handhelds dramatically.

The Deckify Edition is currently tested on the Rog Ally, Lenovo Legion GO and MSI Claw.

Steam Deck support is also being currently worked on, but there are some small issues that should be fixed with upcoming releases.

Interesting to see even more competition in the Linux space for handhelds, there's now quite a few good options if you're tired of Windows or want something different to SteamOS.

Sounds interesting. ~~It says that it's immutable, so I wonder how/if you can layer other packages beyond the usual flatpack method.~~

Edit: No, it's not.

Where did you see that it's immutable? To the best of my knowledge, the regular version of CachyOS is not immutable, and I don't see where it says the handheld version will be any different.

Wait, you're right. I went reading up on the others and got it mixed up with HoloISO.
