Here is some news that both excited me and gave me pause. In its annual 2025 retrospective, published today, Arch-based CachyOS, widely popular among Linux gamers and heavily focused on performance optimization, reveals plans I did not expect: an expansion into the server space.

“In addition to our ongoing PGO and AutoFDO optimizations, we are developing a specialized ‘Server’ Edition for NAS, workstations, and server environments. We intend to provide a verified image that hosting providers can easily deploy for their customers. This edition will ship with a hardened configuration, pre-tuned settings, and performance-optimized packages for web servers, databases and more!”

Hey, but that’s barely an explanation. I don’t force Arch on you, I am just curious what specifically you like about this fork. Is it some DE being pre-installed and pre-configured? Why would it matter for a server then? Or is it something else? If so, do you mind sharing more? Perhaps you have some blog about that. I like reading people new to Linux.

why do I need to explain it to you? I already said I like CachyOS and I want to try the server version. that's it.
