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.

CachyOS is very btrfs savvy. I would try booting from a CachyOS ISO.
All distros are. 🙄
Yes, but some do things better than others. CachyOS is btrfs by default, and does btrfs better than most. Btrfs is a bit more complex than your vanilla ext4.
Bazzite excels at gaming related things. Alpine at lightweight stuff, Nix at inmutability, etc...
That is one of the defining characteristics of Linux.
