I switched from Mint to CachyOS also as a developer. As I do a lot of piracy I depend on Bottles and flatpak to play pirated games a bit more securely. When flatpak had an issue a few months back with signing their programs bottles didn’t work properly as I had different versions of Nvidia drivers. Up to date native and almost up to date flatpak. I am not sure how others distros handled this, but be prepared that updates might break something. Study a bit about AUR if you decide to go there and try out Cachy for a bit before fully switching on a spare disk or something. I wanted to run a local LLM and virtualbox but I had problems with that likely due to my kernel??? So I am not sure how well it works with docker. All in all, try it out and expect a slight increase in difficulty.
