Also, if it’s somehow not already automated, be sure to select the right packages for your CPU level. For instance, if it’s older (AVX2), you want the v3 packages, but if it’s zen 4+ there are packages specifically for that.
Huh. I wonder who gave you a downvote for this. It looks like good advice, and TBH in all the years I’ve been using Linux, since I stopped building the kernels myself I haven’t messed with targeted builds or any of the newer power saving options.
They have a CLI installer, but honestly I’ve never installed it headless before. There is also a “barebones” image that’s closer to stock arch.

Good advice, thanks
Yeah, CachyOS is like all those custom builds and performance tweaks you used to do shipped by default, or offered as easy options
