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.

People that have visiting hard drives and ssd's that are shared with the majority of desktop users on the planet, for starters.
You can stop taking performance claims seriously when geekbench is mentioned.
As for whether PorteuX is truly faster than CachyOS? Linux users will undoubtedly spend the next few weeks testing that claim for themselves.
No, they won't.
Yeah I'd rather play games on my cachyos than play distrohopping.
I've seen this time and time again, performance between gaming distros like Bazzite, Nobara, CachyOS, etc. is marginal.
And cachy is consistently faster and has better .01 and 1 percent lows.
Linuxes real issue is almost always unstable frame rates and performance. Cachy does manage to bring the bottom up.
cachy is consistently faster than bazzite though
Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?
They don't really provide any explanation for why it should be faster than CachyOS. So I'd take their claims with a bucket or two of salt.

Almost never. Bumping the minimum architecture version and optimization levels is all well and good, but unless you're doing tons of vector oriented workloads it's not going to qualitatively make a difference.
How fast does it invert a 1B X 1B matrix storing it in zswap and writing results to NTFS?
I switched from bazzite to CachyOS on my steam deck, never gonna change to another again. CachyOS is simply the best.
How do you pronounce? Cashy or Catchy?
Cache is a word... Its cachy your just putting a harder e at the end.
Where I live, cache is like cash. Sorry, still confused. Maybe I can find a video on Peertube and listen to it.
I've discovered a new game I can play in my head where I append ", btw" on every Arch related title.
Arch doesn't even do that anymore.
Nixos is the new btw distro. Everyone runs arch now it's old hat. Steamos, cachy, it's boring and normal.
Nix OS is the new hotness it's where all the cool kids go.
Where can I download it? 😀
Fast vs. efficient?
