PorteuX 2.7 delivers major performance optimizations, updated desktop environments, and a bold claim that it can outperform CachyOS, one of Linux’s best-known speed-focused distributions.

PorteuX 2.7 has been released with Linux kernel 7.1.1, GNOME 50.2, KDE Plasma 6.7.0, a switch to the new NTFS-Plus driver, and a number of performance-focused optimizations. The developer is also claiming the distro now outperforms CachyOS in Geekbench 6. Do you think benchmark results like these are meaningful when comparing Linux distributions?

    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.
