  • Or am I better off just using rsync to backup the whole /home folder to an external drive, install CachyOS fresh, then rsync my files over when the installer is completed but before I boot for the first time?

    That would be simpler.

    Or, even just do it after the first boot in the new system. It shouldn’t hurt anything to replace the contents of your /home directory. Just copy it over and then reboot. (Save a copy of the original somewhere as a backup, just in case it breaks something.)
