CachyOS looks really good, and I want to try it. But what's the effect of being sponsored by cloudflare? Is it FOSS? Does it collect data? What's Cloudflare getting out of the sponsorship?

Companies often sponsor FOSS projects, especially if they use them internally. It doesn't mean Cloudflare has any access to data from it.

They only have access to data if you use them as a proxy on a DNS record, otherwise they're just a normal DNS system.

Yes. So only >99% of configs.

I agree just using cf for DNS only significantly reduces the harm they cause.
